| 7 | |
| 8 | Formed by Mavis Vermillion, Yuri Dreyar, Precht Gaebolg (who would later become known as Hades), Warrod Sequen, [[spoiler:Zera,]] and [[spoiler:Sparda]], Fairy Tail is the most famous wizards' guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, most widely known for producing some of the most powerful wizards in the history of magic—so powerful, in fact, they [[DestructiveSavior cause unintended destruction no matter what they do]]. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 11 | * BadassCrew: Fairy Tail easily outnumbers the other guilds in terms of badass members by a dozen-fold. They're also a colorful, tightly-knit bunch of goofballs who consider each other closer than any family. |
| 12 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: They baffle all ordinary folks (and sometimes each other) with their eccentricities, but they all have one thing in common: mess with their guild, and they will ''end'' you. |
| 13 | * FamilyOfChoice: Act as this to all their members offering them a home and a source of solidarity during any emotional times. |
| 14 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: Although the guild is more associated with fairies and light-based powers, Fairy Tail is free to use any kind of magic, including darkness-based powers. |
| 15 | ** For the members that are LightIsGood are: [[BigGood Makarov's]] [[LightEmUp Light Magic]], Lucy's [[StarPower Celestial Spirit Magic]], [[BigGood first Guild Master Mavis]], Cana's Fairy Glitter and Kyrie's [[spoiler:[[WhiteMagic Arc of Seraph]].]] |
| 16 | ** For the members that are DarkIsNotEvil are: Dante who is [[HalfHumanHybrid part demon]], [[BadassAdorable Mira's Satan Soul]], [[ShockAndAwe Trish]], [[BadassPacifist Modeus]], Lady's [[spoiler:[[DemonSlaying Devil Slayer Magic]]]], [[spoiler:founding member GreaterScopeParagon Sparda]], Nero who is [[spoiler:[[HalfHumanHybrid part demon as well]].]] |
| 17 | * MythicalMotifs: Fairies, with their three most powerful spells being [[LightEmUp light based]] attacks. |
| 18 | ** One of their most prominent members, Erza, is given the title Titania, which is the name of the queen of the fairies, [[spoiler:and her [[CombinationAttack Unison Raid]] with Dante is called '''Fairy King: Crimson Oberon''', as a reference to the king of the fairies]]. |
| 19 | ** They gain a strong demon/devil motif as the story progresses thanks to members like [[HalfHumanHybrid Dante]], [[ShockandAwe Trish]], [[{{Lunacy}} Modeus]], and [[DeadpanSnarker Nero]]. [[spoiler:It's even revealed that [[BigGood Sparda]] is also an founding member of Fairy Tail]]. |
| 20 | * PowerOfFriendship: In each arc, they use their teamwork and bonds as a primary way to defeat their foes. |
| 21 | ** In the Vergil arc, although weakened after being captured, they try to help Dante fight Vergil, but to no avail. When Natsu later achieves Dragon Force to battle Vergil, he's motivated for the sake of the guild and his friends. |
| 22 | ** In the Devil Hand arc Arkham knows that Fairy Tail prides itself on its unity, and manipulates the inside of Temen-ni-Gru, using DivideAndConquer tactics for Fairy Tail's fight with the Seven Sins. |
| 23 | *** The remaining members come to help their comrades, with Arkham keeping them at bay with demons. |
| 24 | ** Tenrou Island: It's instrumental in fighting off Grimoire Heart; although outmatching them in magic power, and being a fierce battle, they fight off their enemies with the motivation of protecting each other. |
| 25 | ** While they couldn't outmatch and handle Acnologia, they were able to survive thanks to joining their powers together to form Fairy Sphere, having unshakable faith in each other. |

| 28 | !!Main Cast |
| 29 | [[folder:Natsu Dragneel]] |
| 30 | [[quoteright:259:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/natsu_ft_2018.png]] |
| 31 | |
| 32 | A Fire Dragon Slayer and the famous Fairy Tail wizard who is known as "Salamander". He was raised from a young age by the dragon Igneel, who mysteriously disappeared seven years ago on July 7, X777. Ever since then, Natsu has been on a personal journey to find the dragon and learn what happened. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Surprisingly for someone [[IdiotHero who prefers to rush headfirst into a fight]], he excels at learning the fighting styles and abilities of any opponent he faces. Erza outright states between this and his [[{{Determinator}} sheer stubbornness]], his ability to match opponents who previously bested him borders on AdaptiveAbility. |
| 35 | * BashBrothers: |
| 36 | ** Quickly hits it off with Dante and the two make a good team in a fight, displaying excellent teamwork against Vergil. |
| 37 | ** He later forms this with Nero, as the two show near-perfect teamwork against Berial, and later Sanctus. |
| 38 | * BatmanGrabsAGun: Natsu primarily fights with his fists and his magic, but on occasion, he does use weapons. |
| 39 | ** In the Edolas arc, Dante gives him Agni and Rudra to use when he loses his magic. |
| 40 | ** In the Devil Hand arc, he tries to attack Arkham with the Devil Sword Sparda, enraged when he learns Arkham's full plan, which included kidnapping Natsu's friends and tricking everybody around him. Unfortunately, this allows Arkham to grab the sword and escape. |
| 41 | * BattleAura: His magic aura is fiery orange in color, [[AnimalBattleAura and sometimes takes the shape of a Dragon]]. |
| 42 | * BattleCouple: [[spoiler:With both of his love interests: [[ChildhoodFriend Lisanna]] with her [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Take Over Animal Soul and Dragon Soul]], and Lucy with [[StarPower Celestial Spirit Magic]], with the three of them showing great teamwork together. |
| 43 | * BloodKnight: There are few things Natsu loves more than a good fight, eagerly leaping into the fray against whatever ArcVillain's they're up against, and his old guildmates in between each crisis. |
| 44 | * TheBigGuy: Natsu a [[PlayingwithFire Fire Dragon]] [[KungFuWizard Slayer]] and one of [[BadassCrew Fairy Tail]]'s heavy hitters. The combination of his [[LightningBruiser strength, speed, toughness]], and [[AttackAttackAttack sheer offence]] make him incredibly hard to beat, furthered by his [[{{Determinator}} sheer tenacity]]. |
| 45 | * BirdsOfAFeather: |
| 46 | ** With Dante, both are powerful descendants of non-human entities (dragon and demon), both treat Fairy Tail as a FamilyOfChoice, frequently acting as [[BigBrotherInstinct older brother figures for the younger members]], and both have a red color scheme. And of course, both [[BloodKnight greatly enjoy a good fight]]. |
| 47 | ** With his LoveInterest Lisanna. Both are orphans who found a family in Fairy Tail, have a great love of dragons, admiration of Gildarts, and even raised Happy together. Grows even more after the Edolas arc [[spoiler:when she gets a [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Takeover]].]] |
| 48 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: Uses 'Jackpot' in ''Dawn of Light'' alongside Dante [[spoiler:and [[EnemyMine Vergil]] when fighting [[ArcVillain Arkham]].]] |
| 49 | * CharacterDevelopment: His early encounters with Vergil leave him afraid of an opponent for the first time, and he even freezes up in some of their rematches. Hearing Gildarts advice on Tenrou Island gets him to start accepting and dealing with this issue, which helps greatly in the three on three match in ''Devils and Dragons''. |
| 50 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: Had this with Lisanna in the past. Unlike canon, they pick up where they left off after the Edolas arc, sharing several [[ShipTease intimate moments]], and he blushes every time Lisanna kisses him or makes another display of affection. |
| 51 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: After Lisanna is mortally injured by [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Cragnar]] Natsu recalls a healing technique Igneel taught him called Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Blood Soul Fire that uses red flames instead of his usual orange. The downside is that it uses large amounts of his own energy, which leaves him incredibly drained and is only fit as a last resort. [[spoiler:It also gave Lisanna a Dragon Soul Takeover.]] |
| 52 | * DumbassHasAPoint: While smarter than he lets on, he usually plays the role of an IdiotHero to a hilt. Every now and then he makes valid point. |
| 53 | ** In ''Let's Welcome Chaos'', when [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Vergil]] makes another [[MightMakesRight power is everything speech]] and states his plan to become next ruler of the of Underworld. Natsu questions [[AndThenWhat what he'd even]] ''[[AndThenWhat do]]'' [[AndThenWhat should he succeed]], accurately noting being king of Hell means Vergil will just [[OrcusOnHisThrone sit on an oversize throne for rest of his life]], something he'd find incredibly boring. Also doubles as a MythologyGag [[spoiler:to the events of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', when Vergil's demonic half Urizen becomes even more powerful, but at cost of his humanity and spends most of the game (including his BossFight) sitting on his throne]]. |
| 54 | *** [[spoiler:In ''Mastermind'', Vergil admits he didn't have an answer back then, though he eventually determined that after killing Mundus, he would take over the Underworld to prevent an EvilPowerVacuum and keep the demons under control]]. |
| 55 | * ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Gets this from Dante when the latter meets the famous 'Salamander' for the first time. |
| 56 | -->'''Natsu''': Hey are you to call me short! You're only one foot taller than me!\ |
| 57 | '''Dante''': ''(laughing)'' Which also means you're one foot shorter than me. |
| 58 | * ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Griffon threatening to kill Igneel in revenge for his many defeats is enough for Natsu to go berserk and take him down. |
| 59 | * FingerGun: [[spoiler:Natsu joins in with this in the iconic "Jackpot" scene in beating Arkham.]] |
| 60 | * FireWaterJuxtaposition: He spars with [[MakingASplash Juvia]] in ''Grinding Down, Leveling Up'' to train for the Grand Magic Games, at her suggestion. She points out they never fought, which will be good practice for facing new opponents, and their opposite elements are equally matched, meaning they can train their power by trying to repeatedly overcome one another. |
| 61 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 62 | ** With Dante, being the children of powerful and noble nonhumans (Sparda and Igneel respectively), are well intentinoed heroes that [[BloodKnight greatly enjoy fighting]], and are prominently associated with the colour red. But whereas Natsu is a straightforward and [[HotBlooded passionate]] IdiotHero that prefers the direct approach whenever possible (something that leads to him [[ButtMonkey being the subject of mockery from his friends]]), Dante frequently proves to be [[GeniusBruiser just as sharp as he is strong]], maintaining a composed, irreverent demeanour that leads to him being on the ''giving'' end of a joke more often than not. Their fighting styles also contrast, with Natsu preferring [[KungFuWizard hand to hand mixed in with his fire magic]] where Dante is a master of an arsenals worth of weapons, each with their own unique powers rather than his innate demonic power, though he does come to use that more as the story progresses. One important distinction between them is their approach to family, with Natsu being HappilyAdopted by Igneel, has nothing but positive feelings towards him, and fit right in at Fairy Tail from day one, Dante has complicated feelings for his birth father Sparda, and despite getting along with Fairy Tail, kept a degree of emotional distance between them before their first encounter with Vergil. |
| 63 | ** With Nero. Both [[BloodKnight enjoy a good fight]], are fiercely protective of their respective FamilyOfChoice, have a ChildhoodFriendRomance with a girl they raised an Exceed with, [[spoiler:and are the offspring of powerful non-human beings, Igneel and Sparda respectively]]. However, Natsu is a BareFistedMonk who heavily uses [[PlayingWithFire his magic]] in a fight, has a red ColorMotif, and is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} just as quirky]] as his teammates, even being [[ButtMonkey the butt of several jokes]] owing to his status as an IdiotHero. By contrast, Nero primarily uses his weapons in a fight, having only recently gained any demonic powers, dresses [[BlueIsHeroic in blue]], and for all his snarking actually acts as the OnlySaneMan of his group, generally being TheReliableOne, with no one questioning his competency. |
| 64 | ** With Vergil. Being the children of powerful nonhuman beings that they inherited great power from and [[BloodKnight enjoy a fight with a worthy opponent]], albeit Vergil is more subdued about this than Natsu. However, where Natsu is a HotBlooded and idealistic IdiotHero that fights for his friends and family and believes in ThePowerOfFriendship, Vergil is a [[TheStoic cold]], logical AntiVillain that derides the idea of bonds and believes [[MightMakesRight power is all that truly matters]]. Natsu greatly admired Igneel and tries to live up to his example to this day, while Vergil acknowledges Sparda's power, but cares little about his beliefs and shows no remorse for undoing his accomplishments. Natsu fights with hand-to-hand [[KungFuWizard while mixing in his Fire Magic]] whereas Vergil prominently uses Yamato (and other weapons he has on hand) and even his demonic powers mainly manifest Summoned Swords or enhance his existing weapons. |
| 65 | * ForceAndFinesse: |
| 66 | ** He is the force to Gray's finesse. Natsu is a HotBlooded [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Slayer]] with an [[AttackAttackAttack aggressive fighting style]] and [[PersonofMassDestruction immense destructive power]], while Gray is a level-headed [[AnIcePerson Ice-Make wizard]] that has a more tactical way fighting using the [[SwissArmySuperpower weapons and objects he can make]]. |
| 67 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Natsu [[TakingTheBullet intercepts a swing meant for Wendy]] from [[spoiler:Vergil; this leaves him with a permanent diagonal scar across his chest.]] |
| 68 | * HeroesFightBareHanded: Natsu fights hand-to-hand combat with [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] [[KungFuWizard Dragon]] [[FullContactMagic Slayer]] Magic and fought pretty well even against opponent armed with weapons. |
| 69 | * HotBlooded: Now with Dante and his friends joining the party, Natsu's got even more regular sparring partners, and he's ecstatic about it. |
| 70 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: [[spoiler:While amazed with Dante's capabilities, Natsu feels very frustrated for being unable to compete with the former the way he is now, and doesn't know how to use Dragon Force and Lightning Flame Dragon Mode currently.]] |
| 71 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lampshaded by Lucy, who notes he has little concept of things like manners, personal space, and frequently challenges friends to fights, yet is utterly loyal to the guild and ''all'' of it's members, being the first to leap to the defense of any of his friends. [[spoiler:Mavis]] even remarks he embodies all the best principles of his guild. |
| 72 | * LightningBruiser: Serves as the benchmark of physical ability amongst [[KungFuWizard Dragon Slayers]], being strong enough break even with a Beowulf enhanced Vergil (himself an example of this trope) in a PunchParry, fast enough to avoid the light based attacks of [[LightEmUp Job]], and tough enough to come out from a sustained fight with Vergil using [[AbsurdlySharpBlade Yamato]] in relatively good shape. |
| 73 | * LightningFireJuxtaposition: |
| 74 | ** He is this with [[spoiler: his other love interest]] Lucy, between his [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]] and her [[StarPower Celestial Spirit Magic]]. |
| 75 | ** He alongside Lisanna [[spoiler:in her Dragon Soul]] pit their [[PlayingWithFire Fire Magic]] attacks against [[LightIsNotGood Job's]] [[LightEmUp Holy Devil Slayer Magic]]. |
| 76 | ** After eating [[spoiler:Laxus's lightning during the battle against Hades in "Tenrou Island arc", he gained [[PowerUp Lightning Flame Dragon Mode]]. His body becomes wreathed in flame and lightning, and all his attacks carry the secondary lightning element for extra damage. He assumes this form again during the final fight with Sanctus. After training for three months, Natsu can now enter this mode whenever he likes.]] |
| 77 | * MaleMightFemaleFinesse: Natsu has this with Lisanna, [[spoiler:notably her Dragon Soul, where both use fire magic. Natsu primarily uses his raw strength and fists, while Lisanna primarily uses her flight and claws.]] |
| 78 | ** Whenever he teams up with [[LittleMissBadass Wendy]]. Natsu uses [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]] with [[AttackAttackAttack great ferocity]] through with sheer [[SuperToughness endurance]], while Wendy uses [[BlowYouAway Sky Dragon Slayer Magic]] for [[LadyOfWar a graceful fighting style that favours agility and tactics]]. |
| 79 | * MythicalMotifs: Dragons, as befitting for a [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon-Slayer]]. He's even got a scarf made from scales. |
| 80 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 81 | ** On the anniversary of Lisanna's death, [[HotBlooded Natsu]] is uncharacteristically somber and subdued, coldly scolding Gray for drawing on his face in his sleep, and refusing to get into a fight with the latter. What's more, he never raises his voice the whole time. |
| 82 | ** After his first encounter with Vergil, any mention of the man is enough to make him deadly serious, being the first person he is actually ''afraid'' to fight, especially given [[GoodScarsEvilScars the scar]] the guy left in his chest. It takes a talk with Gildarts to assure him that it's all right to be afraid of such an opponent. |
| 83 | ** Upon seeing Nero [[spoiler:using [[KatanasAreJustBetter Masayoshi]], he briefly stops fighting to frantically question where he got it, having mistaken it for Yamato.]] |
| 84 | * PersonalityPowers: The HotBlooded, BloodKnight has PlayingWithFire powers, being a deadly combatant who burns anyone in his path. However, he is always very protective and supportive of his FamilyOfChoice, reflecting how softer flames can be used to warm those surrounding them. |
| 85 | * PlayingWithFire: That's Natsu for you and the primary basis of his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. |
| 86 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: Literally, as one of his moves, Flame Lotus: Fire Dragon Fist, engulfs his fists with fire as he punches the enemy fast like a machine gun. |
| 87 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Dante's blue, [[BloodKnight constantly eager for a fight]], [[HotBlooded excited and outspoken]], and being quite straightforward in combat and speech. While Dante shares a lot of these traits, he's typically more laidback, and enjoys {{Troll}}ing people by dancing around them in a fight, and riling them up when well delivered quips. |
| 88 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Despite happily playing the part of HotBlooded [[BloodKnight fight maniac]], Natsu has shown on occasion that he can be a tactical thinker when needed, suggesting to counter Vergil's speed boost from Beowulf by simply stealing the weapon, and coming up with a plan to defeat [[spoiler:the Mundus-enhanced]] Hades after a prolonged battle despite everyone being exhausted and the latter having plenty of power left. |
| 89 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Natsu manages to completely derail [[spoiler:the Holy Sword's plans by being able to enter the Savior to the shock of ''everyone'', as it had been made explicit that only the Infinity Clock's original owners or their descendants could do so. Unknown to everyone else, of course, Natsu ''is'' related to said owners through his ties to Zeref, and he ends up instrumental in freeing Nero and helping him kill Sanctus.]] |
| 90 | * StrongAndSkilled: Is a [[KungFuWizard Dragon Slayer]] that possesses powerful [[PlayingWithFire Fire Magic]] and incredibly physical prowess. Additionally, being trained by Igneel (a dragon!) and years of experience as a [[BadassCrew Fairy Tail wizard]] have honed his martial and magical skills, wielding both in tandem for devastating effect. |
| 91 | * SuperMode: |
| 92 | ** Natsu has entered Dragon Force twice, against Vergil in chapter 19 ''A Son of Sparda and a Son of Igneel'', and in chapter 58 ''Dawn of Light'' against Arkham. according to WordOfGod (for the latter), that it may be connected to [[spoiler:Natsu's demonic nature.]] |
| 93 | ** And in chapter 75 ''Into the Devil's Heart'', [[spoiler:Natsu has obtained Lightning Flame Dragon Mode after Laxus transferred all of his Magic Power to Natsu by giving him to eat the lightning.]] |
| 94 | * SwordAndSorcerer: With [[spoiler:both of his love interests,]] Lisanna and Lucy. Natsu is a [[KungFuWizard fist]] rather than a sword, but otherwise fits, preferring to [[LightningBruiser brawl up close]] with his [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]]. The the two girls can [[VoluntaryShapeshifter change into Animal Soul and Dragon Soul forms]] and [[SummonMagic summon Celestial Spirits]] as back up along with [[StarPower Celestial Spirit Magic]] respectively. |
| 95 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: His reaction to anyone who attacks [[FamilyOfChoice Fairy Tail]], best seen when Natsu tells [[ThickerThanWater Lucy that although she wants to give Vergil a second chance]], he can't find it in himself to forgive the man for what he did to them. Lucy is understanding of where he's coming from. |
| 96 | * TraumaButton: [[spoiler:Boisterous as he usually is, his encounter with Vergil did a number on him, to the point Natsu confuses Gildarts with him during the S-Class Trials, leaving him frozen with fear.]] |
| 97 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Natsu killed plenty of villains in the story: Griffon in Vergil arc, Nelo Angelo with Modeus' teamwork in Edolas arc, Cragnar in Devil Hand arc, Berial in the Order of the Sword arc.]] |
| 98 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: GenderInverted. Anyone threatening Lisanna makes him deadly focused and sends him into a ''chilling'' TranquilFury should they manage to hurt her, [[spoiler:as Cragnar found out the hard way]]. This protectiveness extends to unwanted attention, frequently knocking Dan Straight away whenever he starts flirting and [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace getting too close to her]] and socking Bacchus in the jaw after learning of his bet with Elfman. |
| 99 | ** The same also goes for Lucy as well. After Minerva's beatdown on Lucy during the Naval Battle, Natsu is completely livid, attacking Minerva and threatening to kill her if she ever comes near Lucy again. |

| 102 | [[folder:Dante Redgrave]] |
| 103 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dmc4_dante_3.png]] |
| 104 | |
| 105 | The Demon Slaying Half-Human Hybrid, son of [[AscendedDemon Sparda]] and a human named Eva. After losing his mother to demons as a child, Dante grows up to become a demon-hunting mercenary who runs his own devil-hunting business named Devil May Cry. After his shop is destroyed (again) he joins the Fairy Tail guild. |
| 106 | ---- |
| 107 | * TheAce: Is this even amongst [[BunnyEarsLawyer Fairy Tail]], having a broad range of weapons, abilities, and years of experience hunting demons before joining, to the point he was able to curb stomp fellow [[TheAce Ace]] Erza on his first day. |
| 108 | * AdaptationalWimp: While he does show more creativity with his arsenal (making this a bit of a ZigzaggedTrope) his overall capabilities are less than those of his game counterpart. He has yet to defeat Vergil on his own [[spoiler:until the Grand Magic Games]] (only doing so with help from Natsu), Mundus, who defeated in the first game, is stated to be out of his league (though he benefits from AdaptationalBadass) and [[spoiler:actually ''lost'' his first fight with Nero]]. This is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] since he's still in his twenties, which is relatively early in his career even in the games. |
| 109 | * AirDashing: Develops his Trickster Style in time for the Grand Magic Games, letting him manifest momentary platforms for mid air mobility. |
| 110 | * AlwaysIdenticalTwins: His twin brother Vergil, but their personalities are opposite. |
| 111 | * ApocalypseMaiden: Subverted. [[spoiler:Sanctus and Midnight were planning to use Dante, a son of Sparda, next to his cousin Lucy, a Celestial mage, to control the Infinity Clock-powered Savior, but instead used Nero, an artificial son of Sparda.]] |
| 112 | * AwesomeButImpractical: [[spoiler:His [[TheJuggernaut Dreadnaught]] in a nutshell. The form lets him NoSell pretty much anything his opponents throw at him, and even [[EnergyAbsorption use the energy of their attacks to boost his own power and for bursts of speed]]. However it lacks the {{Flight}} his usual Devil Trigger grants him, [[MightyGlacier appears to be relatively slower]], and is even ''more'' stamina intensive to boot, all of which result in ''losing'' against Midnight by running out of steam more quickly. His opponent even mocks him for relying on a form he had much less experience with.]] [[spoiler:He drops the 'Impractical' part after training for the Grand Magic Games, having learned how to regulate the energy drain such that he felt confident using it in tandem with his Devil Trigger, which in turn eliminates the aforementioned mobility issues]]. |
| 113 | * BattleAura: His demonic power is dark red in color. |
| 114 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Is quite protective of Wendy and Lucy, especially for the latter after learning [[spoiler:she's his cousin.]] |
| 115 | * TheBigGuy: Dante quickly become one of [[BadassCrew Fairy Tail]]'s best fighters shortly after becoming it's member, combining his [[HalfHumanHybrid demonic powers]] with years of experience fighting various demons and [[MultiMeleeMaster prodigious skill with numerous weapons]], especially his [[MasterSwordsman swordsmanship]]. |
| 116 | * {{BFS}}: Rebellion. |
| 117 | * BlackComedy: Dante had a time of his life with both [[MsFanservice Mira and Jenny]] enjoying the ShamelessFanserviceGirl too much, until Ooba came with a FanDisservice enough to shoot himself!... [[GoodThingYouCanHeal with Lady saying that he'll be fine.]] |
| 118 | * BloodKnight: Greatly enjoys any opportunity to throw hands, whether it be friendly spars or cutting up hordes of demons. |
| 119 | * BorrowedCatchPhrase: Makes use of Natsu's 'I'm fired up' in ''Ascension to Hell''. |
| 120 | * CastingAShadow: [[spoiler:In ''Devil's Retribution'', after defeating the [[SandWorm Stygian Worm]], he obtained a new Devil Arm called Anubis, which can produce shadow blades and [[EpicFlail split into two ends connected by a shadow chain]].]] |
| 121 | * CoolBigBro: Like Natsu, he's got this relationship with Lucy and Wendy. [[spoiler:All the more poignant with the former considering they're maternal cousins.]] |
| 122 | * CowardiceCallout: He tells the Edolas version of Erza (Erza Knightwalker) that she's a coward who picks on those weaker than her and has never faced a real challenge. It pisses her off. |
| 123 | * CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:In chapter 43: ''True Justice'', he delivers this to Moloth after the latter revealed that he's responsible for Mavis' fate, the Crimson Knight completely overpowering the demon in his [[SuperMode Dreadnaught]].]] |
| 124 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He is [[HalfHumanHybrid half demon]], wearing a dark red coat with his [[CoolSword Rebellion]] being dark in color and his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] looks quite intimidating with dark colors ScaryTeeth [[HornedHumanoid silver horns pointed downward]], claws on his hands and feet, bat-like wings, but just as canon he is the hero we know and love. |
| 125 | * DeadpanSnarker: More than half of what comes out of Dante's mouth is usually a quip of some kind. |
| 126 | * DefeatingTheUndefeatable: [[spoiler:In ''Devils and Dragons'', he finally manages to defeat [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter his older brother Vergil]] in a one-on-one duel, being the first person in the story to do so. Made all the more impressive due to the seven year gap in training between them.]] |
| 127 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Dante might be a casanova, but he is no lolicon. When Chapati gets a bit too excited during Wendy and Sherria's fight, Dante shoots at him, slightly scratching his cheek, before warning him not to be a creep. |
| 128 | * {{Foil}}: Has several throughout the story, most prominently in Fairy Tail itself. |
| 129 | ** To Natsu, being the children of powerful and noble nonhumans (Sparda and Igneel respectively), are well intentioned heroes that [[BloodKnight greatly enjoy fighting]], and are prominently associated with the colour red. But whereas Natsu is a straightforward and [[HotBlooded passionate]] IdiotHero that prefers the direct approach whenever possible (something that leads to him [[ButtMonkey being the subject of mockery from his friends]]), Dante frequently proves to be [[GeniusBruiser just as sharp as he is strong]], maintaining a composed, irreverent demeanour that leads to him being on the ''giving'' end of a joke more often than not. Their fighting styles also contrast, with Natsu preferring [[KungFuWizard hand to hand mixed in with his fire magic]] where Dante is a master of an arsenals worth of weapons, each with their own unique powers rather than his innate demonic power, though he does come to use that more as the story progresses. One important distinction between them is their approach to family, with Natsu being HappilyAdopted by Igneel, has nothing but positive feelings towards him, and fit right in at Fairy Tail from day one, Dante has complicated feelings for his birth father Sparda, and despite getting along with Fairy Tail, kept a degree of emotional distance between them before their first encounter with Vergil. |
| 130 | ** To Erza, his fellow MultiMeleeMaster with a red motif who [[DarkAndTroubledPast suffered the loss of a home and a childhood companion turning evil (Vergil and Jellal respectively)]], yet maintain the belief that HumansAreSpecial, and are regarded as [[TheAce some of the most powerful and intelligent members of the guild]]. Their personalities and approaches to combat are complete contrasts however, with Dante [[IShallTauntYou remaining laidback and insulting towards his opponents]] while Erza tends to remain stoic and composed, seriously lecturing those whose ideals conflict with hers. While Dante is outwardly irreverent, [[HiddenDepths he shows a serious and philosophical side when it comes to matters of demons and the subject if humanity]], while Erza's serious exterior [[NotSoAboveItAll hides several traits just as goofy as her guildmates]]. |
| 131 | ** With Gray, being {{Multi Melee Master}}s and {{Deadpan Snarker}}s of the highest caliber that thrive on finding creative ways to use their respective arsenals. However while Dante wields various elemental weapons and enjoys his pistols whenever he gets the chance, Gray fights with primarily melee weapons composed of ice. Both [[DarkAndTroubledPast suffered the loss of parents, home, and their]] ''[[DarkAndTroubledPast surrogate]]'' [[DarkAndTroubledPast parental figures that taught them how to fight]], at the hands of demons no less. But while Gray's desire for revenge against Deliora lead to Ur's death, and he decided to honour her wishes and try to let go, Dante aimed his vendetta against demonkind as a whole, and successfully managed to kill Gilver, the one who killed Nell Goldstein. Gray found himself a home in Fairy Tail as per his teachers wishes while Dante used the inheritance she left him to open up an independent demon hunting business. Even their appearances are a contrast, with Gray being dark haired [[WalkingShirtlessScene barechested]] while Dante has [[MysticalWhiteHair white hair]] and is known by his signature red coat. |
| 132 | ** To Mirajane, the other prominent white haired member of Fairy Tail that uses [[DarkIsNotEvil demonic power despite being heroic through and through]], and is also an orphan to boot. But while Mirajane is the eldest of three siblings who are some of the tightest knit in the guild, Dante is the younger twin and has a ''[[CainAndAbel very]]'' strained relationship with his brother. Despite having been born with demonic powers, Dante (initially) makes minimal use of his innate ones (especially his Devil Trigger) early on while Mirajane's Satan Soul is her primary means of fighting. |
| 133 | * ForceAndFinesse: |
| 134 | ** The force to [[PolarOppositeTwins Vergil's]] finesse. While the hotheaded Dante fights with [[{{BFS}} Rebellion]] for powerful attacks and the flashy [[TheGunslinger Ebony and Ivory guns]] for range, the cold and calculating Vergil prefers [[KatanasAreJustBetter Yamato for quick, precise attacks]] and uses the silent energy blades for range. Granted, both are [[HalfHumanHybrid Sons of Sparda]], [[LightningBruiser with immense physical power]] on top of being [[StrongAndSkilled well trained]]. |
| 135 | ** Also the force to [[MagicKnight Erza's]] finesse, despite both of them are [[TheAce among the best fighters in their guild]]. The brash Dante prefers head-on direct attacks with [[{{BFS}} Rebellion]] and [[TheGunslinger Ebony and Ivory firearms]] mixed in with Devil Arms, and of course loves to mess around, while Erza is ever serious and fights with [[LadyOfWar elegance and dignity]]. |
| 136 | ** Downplayed given both are graceful ''and'' powerful, but he is the force to [[MartialPacifist Modeus']] finesse. Dante is a brash, HotBlooded, BloodKnight who favors [[TheBigGuy straightforward attacks]] with both [[{{BFS}} his sword Rebellion]] and [[TheGunslinger dual pistols]], while Modeus prefers quick and precisely timed attacks using his demonic power. |
| 137 | * HealingFactor: Part of his demonic heritage lets him recover much faster from wounds than his guildmates, being able shrug off impalement even when his stamina is depleted. By ''Devil's Retribution'' it takes him ''minutes'' to recover from a (self inflicted) bullet to the brain. |
| 138 | * HypocriticalHumor: Dante himself has quite the mouth, but one of the few ways to piss him off is to be able to talk more than him. |
| 139 | ** In Chapter 55: ''Pride Before Judgement'', he told [[MonsterClown Jester]] that it bugs him when someone talks more than he does, even attempting to shoot him to shut him up. |
| 140 | ** In Chapter 67: ''The Flame God and The Holy Devil'', he meets [[ColdHam Job]], in which he preaches the speech with the gunshot from Dante, as well as telling him he hates when someone talks more than he does despite being injured. |
| 141 | ** In Chapter 9: ''Key of the Starry Heavens'', he meets [[InsufferableGenius Samuel]], and gives him a warning shot to the furball that he doesn't like that somebody talking more than he does when he stops the group with the book "Key of the Starry Heaven", he wants to go to the details, but he stated that their friend Dante doesn't like it for a reason. |
| 142 | ** [[spoiler:In Chapter 23: ''The True Saviors''. he fought [[ArcVillain Midnight]] in their [[SuperMode Dreadnaught and Zero Caduto]] forms respectively, he is clearly pissed with Midnight's LargeHam, told him to shut up since he hates when somebody talks more than he does.]] |
| 143 | * IShallTauntYou: Carla notes in [[spoiler:the final battle with Arkham]] that no matter how powerful the enemy may be, Dante will always crack at least one joke at them. |
| 144 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is an irreverent DeadpanSnarker who enjoys [[{{Troll}} messing with his allies]] as much as he does his enemies, yet is firmly committed to his chosen duty of protecting the weak, and despite the suffering he's undergone remains kind enough to spare any demon he comes across that averts AlwaysChaoticEvil. He's also fiercely loyal to whatever friends he does have, maintaining that he has their back ''no matter what''. |
| 145 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: |
| 146 | ** [[DarkIsNotEvil Dante]] against [[LightIsNotGood Job]], the priest using [[LightEmUp Holy Devil Slayer Magic]] against Dante's arsenal of Devil Arms and demonic abilities. |
| 147 | ** In his fight with Byro, between a KnightTemplar on a holy mission against a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-demon]] [[spoiler:especially when they use [[SuperMode Angelo Byro and Devil Trigger]], emitting [[PurpleIsPowerful purple light]] and [[RedIsHeroic dark red]] auras respectively. [[LampshadeHanging Happy even notes]] that it's a battle between a [[DarkIsNotEvil devil]] and an [[LightIsNotGood angel]], with those watching rooting for the former.]] |
| 148 | ** With [[spoiler:his cousin]], Lucy. Dante is a half-demon and she's a Celestial Spirit wizard. While Dante wears a [[BadassLongcoat dark red long jacket]], Lucy wears [[TrueBlueFemininity light blue]] outfits. [[spoiler:It's also revealed that the Heartfilla's helped the Dark Knight Sparda for generations with Anna Heartfilia being one of the founders of the Order and Sparda eventually marrying one of her descendants, Eva. This makes sense since the stars, as well as the darkness, are combined in the night]]. |
| 149 | * LightningBruiser: Is strong enough to swing around his {{BFS}} with enough force to make RazorWind's, fast enough to clash swords with his brother so rapidly they annihilated ''every drop of rain around them'', and his HealingFactor makes him tough enough to treat impalement as an inconvenience. |
| 150 | * MagicKnight: Dante [[HalfHumanHybrid is a Son of Sparda]] with great [[LightningBruiser physical prowess]] and fights with powerful demonic weapons. |
| 151 | * MightyGlacier: [[spoiler:His [[TheJuggernaut Dreadnaught]] is bulkier and relatively slower than his standard one, but can [[NoSell shrug off any attack his opponent throws at him]], and use the energy of said attacks to boost his already impressive power]]. |
| 152 | * MultiMeleeMaster: Dante shows excellent skill with his trademark sword, [[{{BFS}} Rebellion]], [[DualWielding Agni and Rudra]], Cerberus and Nevan. Plus he can scrap barehanded with the best. |
| 153 | * MythicalMotifs: Demons and devils, given his heritage and [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]]. |
| 154 | * MysticalWhiteHair: He's got the iconic, flowing white hair and his dad is an extremely powerful demon, granting him a range of supernatural abilities. |
| 155 | * PerpetualPoverty: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. His time in Fairy Tail has given him a steady supply of jobs, enough to finally work off his debt. |
| 156 | * PowerGivesYouWings: His [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] got two large black bat-like wings meant for flight. [[spoiler:In his NextTierPowerUp, he evolved his wings into semi-chiropteran wings.]] |
| 157 | * RedBaron: He gets the nickname "Crimson Knight" in Chapter 73. Rather fitting, as a reference to his father's title and both his BadassLongCoat and [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]]. |
| 158 | * RedGreenContrast: Dante's [[SuperMode Dreadnaught]] form and later [[NextTierPowerUp evolved Devil Trigger]] against Midnight's [[SuperMode Zero Caduto]] form with RedIsHeroic against his SicklyGreenGlow in their battle. |
| 159 | * RedIsHeroic: Just as canon, he has his signature red BadassLongcoat, and his power gives off a red aura. And when he joins Fairy Tail, his guild mark is red. |
| 160 | * RedOniBlueOni: |
| 161 | ** The blue to Natsu's red being quite laidback, enjoying {{Troll}}ing people by dancing around them in a fight, and riling them up when well delivered quips. Meanwhile, Natsu is [[BloodKnight constantly eager for a fight]], [[HotBlooded excited and outspoken]], and is quite straightforward in combat and speech. |
| 162 | ** Is the red to Vergil's blue. Aside from their respective colour schemes, Dante loves showing off, cracking jokes, and fights with a dose of dramatic flair, in contrast to Vergil who is [[TheStoic stoic]], constantly focused, and generally takes a no nonsense, focused approach to combat. |
| 163 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Dante learns in Edolas that Lucy's counterpart is the niece of his mother's counterpart, leading him to wonder if the same is true back home. Sure enough, Capricorn reveals that his mother, Eva, was the older sister of Layla, Lucy's mother; therefore, Dante and Vergil are cousins with Lucy.]] |
| 164 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Takes Natsu's canon role of inflicting this on Sabertooth for [[BreakTheCutie what they did to Yukino]]. |
| 165 | * ScaledUp: In his Devil Trigger form, he has scales skin. [[spoiler:In his [[NextTierPowerUp evolved Devil Trigger]], he's got and more reptilian appearance]]. |
| 166 | * SelfDuplication: Doppelgänger Style lets him create up to four duplicates in the middle of a fight. |
| 167 | * StrongAndSkilled: Has a wide range of weapons, from his pistols to Devil Arms, in addition to SuperStrength, SuperToughness a HealingFactor as well some [[SelfDuplication other]] [[TimeStandsStill powers]]. He's also a MultiMeleeMaster, has ImprobableAimingSkills, and is tactical and creative with how he uses his demonic abilities. |
| 168 | * SuperMode: Unlocks his Devil Trigger during his first on-screen fight with Vergil. Though he uses it sparingly, due to how stamina-intensive it can be. |
| 169 | ** [[spoiler:In the Chapter 18: ''Despair of the Savior'', he unlocks the [[BlockingStopsAllDamage Dreadnaught]] form]]. |
| 170 | ** [[spoiler:In the Chapter 23: ''The True Saviors'', in his fight against Midnight, he went to NextTierPowerUp and got his Devil Trigger evolved after absorbing voids of Genesis Zero with his Rebellion and managed to [[CurbStompDown completely overpower]] Midnight's [[SuperMode Zero Caduto]].]] |
| 171 | ** [[spoiler:In the Chapter 39: ''Devils and Dragons'', Dante combined his Devil Trigger with his Dreadnaught, giving him even greater power-up that allowed him to battle on par with [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] Vergil, with the new form being named Inferno Trigger.]] |
| 172 | * SwordAndSorcerer: The sword to [[spoiler:his cousin]] Lucy's sorcerer. The former fights with [[MultiMeleeMaster several Devil Arms]], while the latter does so with [[SummonMagic help from Celestial Spirits]]. |
| 173 | * TimeStandsStill: His Quicksilver Style lets him do this, letting him outmaneuver and take them by surprise. |
| 174 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Dante killed plenty of villains in the story: King Faust in Edolas arc, Ravairy and Fangor in Devil Hand arc, Azuma with Erza's teamwork in Tenrou Island arc, Gilver in Order of the Sword arc.]] |
| 175 | * WeaponBasedCharacterization: |
| 176 | ** His melee weapon of choice is [[{{BFS}} Rebellion]], inherited from his father Sparda as he prefers direct powerful attacks. As well [[spoiler:it's true power being to bind things together to make them stronger, like when Dante got his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] from [[EvilTwin Vergil]] [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbing him in the chest]], as well as his fight with [[ArcVillain Midnight/Brain II]] giving him a [[NextTierPowerUp more powerful Devil Trigger]]. [[{{Foil}} It even contrasts Vergil's Yamato that splits things]], just like their wielders]]. |
| 177 | ** His [[TheGunslinger Ebony and Ivory guns]] are his favorite ranged weapons as well. This shows his pride professional marksman with great accuracy, as well as his human side in general. |
| 178 | * WorthyOpponent: |
| 179 | ** To Erza, [[spoiler:both her Earthland and Edolas counterparts.]] |
| 180 | ** A mutual case with Azuma, who calls him and Erza the greatest warriors he faced in his life. Dante admits he would have fit right in at Fairy Tail, and Azuma is the one to coin his title of [[RedBaron "Crimson Knight!]]. |
| 181 | ** After a match with Laxus, the two develop mutual respect for the other's combat prowess. |

| 184 | [[folder:Lucy Heartfilia]] |
| 185 | [[quoteright:204:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucy_ft_2018.png]] |
| 186 | |
| 187 | A Celestial Wizard who uses a set of magical Gatekeys to summon otherworldly Celestial Spirits to fight on her behalf. |
| 188 | ---- |
| 189 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Yukino considers her this compared to herself, as not only does Lucy have more of the Golden Zodiac Keys, she displays broader tactics with the Spirits at her disposal on top of being a proficient Devil Hunter by the time of the Grand Magic Games. |
| 190 | * AncestralWeapon: [[spoiler:Capricorn explains that the Morningstar was forged by Sparda himself in this story and given to Lucy's ancestor, Anna Heartfilia. It's then been passed down the family to Lucy's mother, Layla.]] |
| 191 | * AndThisIsFor: As she subjects Flare to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown during their match, she declares every punch and strike is meant for everybody in Fairy Tail that Raven Tail has hurt so far. |
| 192 | * ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:Sanctus and Midnight planned to use her, a Celestial Mage and descendant of Anna Heartfilia, next to her cousin Dante, a son of Sparda, to control the Savior.]] |
| 193 | * BattleCouple: Alongside [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Lisanna]] and [[PlayingWithFire Natsu]] with great teamwork. |
| 194 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: Uses 'Jackpot' in the second chapter of ''Devil's Retribution''. |
| 195 | * ButtMonkey: Just as in canon, and occasionally overlaps with ReluctantFanserviceGirl. |
| 196 | * CosmicMotifs: She is a Celestial Spirit wizard, with her spirits being based on the western Zodiac, similar to her mother and ancestors. Also counts as PersonalityPowers, owing to her kind nature and desire to support her friends. |
| 197 | * CurbStompBattle: Her match with Flare ends up being this as well as being a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, as she outmatches her in melee combat and has Scorpio continuously cut her hair as soon as it begins to regrow. The few comebacks Flare has fizzled out quickly, and her attempt to take Asuka hostage is quickly foiled by Modeus. Had Obra not drained Lucy of her magic at the last second, Flare would have surrendered and given Lucy the victory. |
| 198 | * {{Foil}}: To Lisanna, being an AllLovingHeroine that is [[OnlySaneMan one of the saner members of the guild]], favours versatility over raw power and has a [[ShipTease strong bond with Natsu]]. But while Lucy uses [[StarPower Celestial Spirit Magic]] to [[SummonMagic summon Spirits to fight alongside her]] at a distance, Lisanna makes use of [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Take Over]] [[{{Animorphism}} Animal Soul]] to take on the traits of various animals to fight up close. Lisanna's relationship with Natsu arose [[ChildhoodFriendRomance from childhood, having grown stronger since]], while Lucy grew quite close with him despite having only been part of Fairy Tail, and knowing him for less than a year. |
| 199 | * GreenEyedEpiphany: In the Devil Hand arc, Lucy becomes uncomfortable seeing all of Lisanna's ShipTease moments with Natsu. While she doesn't understand why at first, she later confirms it during a talk with Trish, though admits she's content with Natsu and Lisanna [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy so long as they are happy together]]. [[spoiler:Lisanna however talk her that she rather wants to share him.]] |
| 200 | * GrewASpine: In regards to her interactions with Aquarius. When summoning her to help deal with [[ImplacableMan Kain Hikaru]], the spirit, as usual, starts complaining about Lucy interrupting her date, ''[[SkewedPriorities despite Lucy doing so because their opponent was close to killing Trish]]''. Lucy cuts her off with a slap and [[TranquilFury calmly but firmly states]] that while she respects her spirits' wishes, she refuses to allow her friends to be hurt simply to satisfy the mermaid's whims. [[spoiler:Aquarius is impressed and admits she was trying to invoke this trope all along]]. |
| 201 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Admits that she has feelings for Natsu to Trish, and feels jealous seeing him with Lisanna. However, she acknowledges the two have much more history, having raised Happy and having a ChildhoodFriendRomance, and confesses this to Lisanna herself, making it clear she wants to keep them both as friends, [[spoiler:and is surprised when Lisanna suggests they share Natsu]]. |
| 202 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: |
| 203 | ** In the Devil Hand arc she wants to help her friends in the climactic battle, but she concedes to Lisanna, Trish, and Modeus' advice to sit out the fight with Vergil, acknowledging she is no match against him. |
| 204 | ** In the Naval Battle she quickly realises that Minerva has her outmatched in terms of magic and combat prowess [[spoiler:and opts to knock them both to force a draw out rather than risk a prolonged confrontation.]] |
| 205 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: With [[spoiler:her cousin]] Dante. Lucy is a Celestial Spirit wizard, while Dante is a half-demon. While Lucy wears [[TrueBlueFemininity light blue]] outfits, Dante wears a [[BadassLongcoat dark red long jacket]]. [[spoiler:It's also revealed that the Heartfilla's helped the Dark Knight Sparda for generations with Anna Heartfilia being one of the founders of the Order and Sparda eventually marrying one of her descendants, Eva. This makes sense since the stars, as well as the darkness, are combined in the night]]. |
| 206 | * LightIsGood: She has [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde hair]], usually wears light colored clothing, is a [[StarPower Celestial wizard]] and among the guilds most heroic members. |
| 207 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Delivers this to Flare in their match at the Grand Magic Games, knocking out a tooth and even dislocating her arm. The beatdown was so bad for Flare, she had a traumatic breakdown [[BadBoss due to being triggered for what Ivan would do for failure]], started begging for mercy, and nearly surrendered willingly before Obra drained Lucy of her magic. |
| 208 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Dante learns in Edolas that Lucy's counterpart is the niece of his mother's counterpart, leading him to wonder if the same is true back home. Sure enough, Capricorn reveals that his mother, Eva, was the older sister of Layla, Lucy's mother; therefore, Dante and Vergil are cousins with Lucy.]] |
| 209 | * [[ShortRangeFighterLongRangeFighter Short Range Gal Long Range Gal]]: Whenever she teams up with Lisanna. Lucy fights at a distance with her whip alongside her [[SummonMagic summoned Celestial Spirits]], while Lisanna uses [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Take Over:]] [[{{Animorphism}} Animal Soul]] to take traits of animals and fight up close. |
| 210 | * SummonMagic: Lucy is a [[StarPower Celestial Spirit wizard]] that summons [[BunnyEarsLawyer Celestial Spirits]], through the gate keys. |
| 211 | ** [[SweetSheep Aries]] with [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Wool Magic]]. |
| 212 | ** [[DittoFighter Gemini]] that [[VoluntaryShapeShifter can mimic the form and powers of others]]. |
| 213 | ** [[ShearMenace Cancer]] with immense speed and sharp scissors. |
| 214 | ** [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Loke]], who fights with [[LightEmUp Regulus]] mixed with hand-to-hand. |
| 215 | ** [[NinjaMaid Virgo]], who wields [[DishingOutDirt Earth Magic]]. |
| 216 | ** Scorpio with [[SandBlaster Sand Magic]]. |
| 217 | ** Sagittarius, who is an archer with ImprobableAimingSkills. |
| 218 | ** [[BattleButler Capricorn]], a goat man who is ''very'' proficient in hand-to-hand combat. |
| 219 | ** Aquarius with [[MakingASplash Water Magic]]. |
| 220 | * SwordAndSorcerer: |
| 221 | ** With [[spoiler:her love interest]], Natsu. Natsu is a [[KungFuWizard fist]] rather than a sword, but otherwise fits, preferring to [[LightningBruiser brawl up close]] with his [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]]. Lucy can [[SummonMagic summon Celestial Spirits]] as back-up along with [[StarPower Celestial Spirit Magic]] respectively. |
| 222 | ** The sorcerer to [[spoiler:her cousin]] Dante's sword. The former fights with [[SummonMagic help from Celestial Spirits]], while the latter with [[MultiMeleeMaster several Devil Arms]]. |
| 223 | * ThickerThanWater: While she clearly sees Fairy Tail as a FamilyOfChoice [[spoiler:she is very happy to hear that Dante is her cousin. She even wants to try and reach out to Vergil so they can connect as a family again, even if he might not accept it.]] |
| 224 | ** [[spoiler:Despite not being related by blood, is honored to have Sparda as part of her family, considering him a CoolUncle and the father of her beloved cousin.]] |
| 225 | * TookALevelInBadass: As a result of training for three months before the Grand Magic Games, Lucy has become more skilled to the point that not only can she summon two Zodiac spirits at once, but also learns hand-to-hand combat. As a result of her training, her match with Flare ends up being completely in her favor, only losing because of Obra's interference. |
| 226 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Unlike in canon, Lucy in this story did commit a murder by killing Asmodeua in Devil Hand arc.]] |
| 227 | * WeakButSkilled: She is pretty smart, and a skilled fighter, but not that strong against the likes of Vergil, who outmatched her on separate occasions. When teaming up with her guildmates she has proven to be a valuable asset, providing plenty of support and strategic input in fights to turn the tide. This is emphasized more after [[TookALevelInBadass training for the Grand Magic Games]]. While she can summon more Spirits at once for greater firepower and is now an accomplished melee fighter, she still doesn't have the strength of powerhouses like Erza and Dante. As such, she focuses on strategic use of her Spirits and weapon, frequently catching her opponents off guard with how fast she can switch tactics and capitalising on that so they can't bring their full strength to bare. |
| 228 | * WeaponBasedCharacterization: |
| 229 | ** In fights, she uses [[WhipOfDominance whips]], fitting for a 'tamer' of [[SummonMagic Celestial Spirits]]. In Edolas, she upgrades to a magical one called Fleuve d'étoiles. The dominance aspect is brought up by [[DepravedBisexual Asmodeua]], much to Lucy's frustration. |
| 230 | ** She eventually gains [[spoiler:[[AncestralWeapon the Morningstar]], made by her uncle [[WorldsGreatestWarrior Sparda]] himself, symbolizing her decision to become a [[TookALevelInBadass Devil Hunter and better fighter]].]] |
| 231 | * YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Upon discovering Sanctus killed her father, she exclaims this with great sorrow and hatred.]] |
| 232 | --> '''Lucy''': [[spoiler:You... You killed my father...? YOU KILLED MY FATHER!]] |

| 238 | |
| 239 | An Exceed, a race of cat-like beings from the parallel world of Edolas, whose egg was found and hatched by Natsu, and the two have remained inseparable friends ever since. |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * AdaptationalKarma: As mentioned in ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine below, he gets his teasing catchphrase turned back on him more often than canon. Or the other person (usuallly Lady) retorts back with threats. |
| 242 | * BerserkerTears: He does this twice and the cause is Vergil. |
| 243 | ** In "Epic Clash: Natsu vs Vergil" when Natsu [[TakingTheBullet took the damage]] for Wendy and almost dies, Happy angrily calls him a monster and flies straight to him to seek revenge only for him (in his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]]) almost squeeze him if it wasn't for Dante saving the cat just in time. |
| 244 | ** He does it again in "Brotherly Rivals Evermore" when Vergil defeats Dante again and took his Perfect Amulet, Happy angry tells him to give him back that it belongs to Dante, only for Vergil to point his sword right to Happy's face causing, causing him to stop his track to the tip of the sword to an inch of his face, only for Vergil telling him that he is an insect and isn't worth squatting and left leaving teared up Happy behind. |
| 245 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Gets along very well with Dante due to a shared love of [[TheGadfly messing with people]] as well as [[DeadpanSnarker poking fun at them]]. |
| 246 | * BlueIsHeroic: He is a blue-furred Exceed, his magic has a blue aura, and he is always ready to help to save the world. |
| 247 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: The first to use Dante's signature 'Jackpot', doing so after chopping wood with Lucky. |
| 248 | * CommonalityConnection: He quickly bonds with Dante owing to their shared [[{{Troll}} love of messing with people]], particularly [[ButtMonkey Lucy]]. |
| 249 | * HiddenDepths: In ''Old Friends'' he wonders if he can reach Panther-Lily's level after everyone's training, surprising Carla and Lisanna that he would care about such a thing. |
| 250 | * SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:He, Carla and Panther-Lily attack the Devil Heart, the source of Hades' power, while he is busy fighting the main group.]] |
| 251 | * SupportPartyMember: Has little ability in the way of direct combat, but his {{Flight}} and ability to carry a passenger gives his allies a level playing field against opponents who can fly and a leg up against those that can't. |
| 252 | ** He and Carla did this for Gray and Gajeel in their fight with Nightmare. |
| 253 | ** Helps Dante out in his fight with Ibis, [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership leader of the Seven Deadly Sins]] of Devil Hand, since she could fly and he couldn't outside of his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]], which drains his stamina. This naturally grates on her {{Pride}}. |
| 254 | * ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Frequently finds his [[TheGadfly "You liiiiike him/her"]] {{Catchphrase}} turned back on him whenever he attempts it on Dante. |
| 255 | * TeamPet: How the villains see him, with Fairy Tail viewing him as just another member. Given how he's helped out in big battles, he certainly qualifies as more, [[UnderestimatingBadassery to the villains' surprise]]. |
| 256 | * TheTease: Loves to tease potential couples, to the point that his {{Catchphrase}} is 'You liiiiike him/her'. |
| 257 | ** [[CasualDangerDialogue Gets into an argument with Dante about this]] when the latter keeps flirting with [[BeautyIsBad Ib]][[TheDragon is]] in the middle of their fight. |
| 258 | --->'''Happy''': Again with the flirting with girls thing, that's seriously getting old.\ |
| 259 | '''Dante''': This coming from the cat who always says 'you liiiike her' all the time.\ |
| 260 | '''Happy''': That line is a classic! Classics never go out of style!\ |
| 261 | '''Dante''': Like you know anything about style. |
| 262 | * WeakButSkilled: Happy is not as powerful as most of his teammates, but his flying abilities are a valuable advantage. This is proven true when he carried Dante during the latter's duel against Iblis, the leader of the Seven Sins. When she unleashes her Heavenly Black Hole maneuver, both Happy and Dante combine their speed to destroy the black hole. |

| 268 | An ice wizard and rival of Natsu, who happens to be a fire wizard. Though more down-to-earth than most of his guildmates, he has the unhealthy habit of taking off his clothes without thinking. |
| 269 | ---- |
| 270 | * BattleAura: His magic aura is cyan blue. |
| 271 | * BloodMagic: During his fight with Ultear on Tenrou Island, Gray manages to get around her Arc of Time by using his Ice-Make Magic to create weapons out of his own blood, which are immune to Ultear's magic. |
| 272 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: Uses 'Jackpot' in 22nd chapter: ''Between Heaven and Hell'' of ''Devil's Retribution''. |
| 273 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not quite at Dante's level, but Gray's got his moments. Especially with [[IdiotHero Natsu]] around. |
| 274 | * ForceAndFinesse: He is the finesse to [[BigGuy Natsu, Erza, Dante, and Gajeel's]] force. Although he lacks their raw power, he makes up with [[CombatPragmatist wit, cleverness]], and skillful use of [[SwissArmySuperpower the weapons and objects he creates]] with [[AnIcePerson Ice-Make Magic]]. |
| 275 | * AnIcePerson: He is an Ice-Make wizard. |
| 276 | * MultiMeleeMaster: Gray can shape his ice into traditional weapons, and his time with Dante leads him to copy Rebellion, Cerberus and Beowulf, in which he proves skilled at using them. |
| 277 | * PersonalityPowers: Is an Ice Make Wizard who can create objects, and not only is he a DeadpanSnarker, he's quite resourceful and clever to boot. |
| 278 | * SoreLoser: After Vergil beats him, he is frustrated that he got sucker punched and has been looking to get payback on him ever since. |
| 279 | * SwissArmySuperpower: Aside from just freezing things solid, he can use Ice-Make for both offensive and defensive purposes, travel, and a limited version of healing (at least where burns are concerned). |
| 280 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Gets hit with this several times throughout the story, especially when compared to the likes of Natsu, [[TheAce Dante and Erza]]. |
| 281 | ** Mammon, the Greed of the Seven Sins of Devil Hand, dismissed him as an 'ice stripper', calling him small fry compared to the likes of [[PersonOfMassDestruction Natsu]] and [[TheAce Erza]]. Gray proceeds to prove him wrong by ''freezing his molten gold'', impressing the dark wizard. |
| 282 | ** [[ArcVillain Vergil]] dismissed him as some human with fancy [[AnIcePerson ice magic]], especially since he defeated him before. Gray then proceeds to be pivotal in stealing Beowulf from him. |
| 283 | ** Ultear continues to condescend his chances at overcoming her [[TimeMaster Arc of Time]], continuously boasting that it renders his [[AnIcePerson Ice-Make magic]] useless. [[spoiler:He proceeds to work around this by using his blood instead, and quickly turns the fight into a CurbStompBattle in his favor, even after she breaks out her own [[AnIcePerson Ice-Make magic]].]] |
| 284 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Killed Dagon in the Order of the Sword arc.]] |
| 285 | * WeakButSkilled: Although his Ice-Make Magic is impressive, it lacks the raw power compared to what Natsu, Erza, and Dante can bring to bear. He makes up for it with his creativity and quick thinking, frequently exploiting his opponents' weaknesses and catching them off guard. |

| 291 | Fairy Tail's most powerful female wizard, renowned throughout the kingdom as "Titania", the Queen of the Fairies. Using her magic, The Knight, she can "Requip"—instantaneously exchange and equip—hundreds of different weapons and suits of armor that enhance her already tremendous strength and swordsmanship. |
| 292 | ---- |
| 293 | * TheAce: She is among Fairy Tail's strongest, most skilled, and most intelligent wizards, making her one of their most capable members. There are few foes she can't match in brains or brawn and fewer that surpass her in either. |
| 294 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: While she is on the giving end of this trope to most people, there are a few who rank above her, [[TheWorfEffect to the shock of everyone.]] |
| 295 | ** Her first spar with Dante ended decisively in his favor, and in the Edolas arc, she admits she has yet to defeat him once. This also makes Vergil a case to her, having defeated her in each fight, albeit [[WorthyOpponent after pushing far more than anyone other than Dante.]] |
| 296 | ** After Gildarts' return, Lady and Trish comment that they thought she was Fairy Tail's most powerful mage. Erza humbly admits she can't hold a candle to him. |
| 297 | ** While the two never encountered one another, Dante states that Iblis (the leader of the Seven Sins of Devil Hand) is her superior in terms of power, and may even exceed her in terms of sword skill. |
| 298 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: She didn't just become S-Class for her strength alone. She is clever and can figure out what to do in fights. |
| 299 | ** In ''Devil Prince vs Fairy Queen, she admits to holding back against Vergil, as he is doing the same as well, with Vergil admitting he does so to test his opponents and see if they're worthy of experiencing his Devil Trigger. |
| 300 | ** ''Sins Born of Sorrow'': She notes that while Leviatha/Sheeree's Magic Drain lets her copy powers, she's still inexperienced in their fight. When Wendy later fights, she and Erza both discover that combining so many different powers quickly exhausts Sheeree. |
| 301 | ** Although the rest of her guild is suspicious of Jester, she is the one that really felt something inhuman in him, which is later proven true when Jester is revealed to be Arkham in disguise. |
| 302 | ** ''Between Heaven and Hell'': She, along with Modeus, figure out why Cobra never gained a [[spoiler:Caduto form]] like the other members of the Oracion Seis: because he still hopes to see Cubellios, and is afraid that she will fear him, next to having achieved Dragon Force. |
| 303 | * BashSiblings: Forms this with Dante, with the two mentioning that they spar rather frequently. [[spoiler:This shows when they display excellent teamwork against [[BloodKnight Azuma]], who notes that he'd definitely lose if the fight went on.]] |
| 304 | * BattleAura: Her magic aura is scarlet red. |
| 305 | * BerserkButton: When confronted by someone who sacrificed their humanity for power, she ''will'' be pissed. |
| 306 | ** Her first solo fight with Vergil, when she learned about him severing his human part, she wanted to beat him up for that only to lose badly. |
| 307 | ** When fighting Credo for the second time in his Credo Angelo form, she questions why he would sacrifice his humanity for demonic power (which, according to him, he didn't sacrifice anything of that sort). Unlike above with Vergil, she won this time, and to prove even though she is an ordinary human and him being a demon or an Angel she still can beat him. |
| 308 | * TheBigGal: Erza is among [[BadassCrew Fairy Tail]]'s best fighters, using [[MagicKnight Requip Magic]] to easily swap between her arsenal of weapons, on the top of her absurd physical power to take down any opponent that dares make an enemy of her guild. |
| 309 | * BlueIsHeroic: She has a dark blue Fairy Tail emblem on her left arm and is among Fairy Tail's most heroic members. |
| 310 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 311 | ** To Dante, her fellow MultiMeleeMaster with a red motif who [[DarkAndTroubledPast suffered the loss of a home and a childhood companion turning evil (Vergil and Jellal respectively)]], yet maintain the belief that HumansAreSpecial, and are regarded as [[TheAce some of the most powerful and intelligent members of the guild]]. Their personalities and approaches to combat are complete contrasts however, with Dante [[IShallTauntYou remaining laidback and insulting towards his opponents]] while Erza tends to remain stoic and composed, seriously lecturing those whose ideals conflict with hers. While Dante is outwardly irreverent, [[HiddenDepths he shows a serious and philosophical side when it comes to matters of demons and the subject if humanity]], while Erza's serious exterior [[NotSoAboveItAll hides several traits just as goofy as her guildmates]]. |
| 312 | ** To Vergil, being some of the best examples of [[MasterSwordsman]], ([[MultiMeleeMaster and weapon fighters in general]]) in the story, having [[DarkAndTroubledPast deeply traumatic childhoods]] and maintain a [[TheStoic stoic demeanour]]. However, Erza favors using an arsenals worth of weapons and armours, believes HumansAreSpecial, and is quite warm to her friends underneath her stern demeanour, whereas Vergil masters a handful of weapons, considers humans [[HumansAreInsects to be beneath consideration]] and ruthlessly suppresses any human emotion he feels. While both were isolated from all the people they knew early on, Erza managed to find a home in Fairy Tail and grew to love the people there like family, while Vergil remained isolated and grew into the cold man in the present. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And like with Dante, their color schemes contrast with red and blue]]. |
| 313 | ** To Lady, with both being badass {{Action Girl}}s with [[DarkAndTroubledPast dark pasts]], TheDreaded to their group of friends, and primarily fight using their respective weapons. But while Erza is a mage who makes use of a vast array of armors and melee weapons, Lady is a BadassNormal whose arsenal consists entirely of firearms [[spoiler:prior to [[EmpoweredBadassNormal developing magic]].]] Erza, [[SugarAndIcePersonality despite her intense demeanor is openly affectionate towards her friends]], and acts as a TeamMom for the group, while Lady is typically abrasive and rarely ever openly shows affection. Each had someone they were close to as a child who ultimately betrayed them, Jellal and [[ArchnemesisDad Arkham]] respectively. While Erza was given her last name by [[ChildhoodFriend Jellal]] and keeps it to this day, Lady actually [[ThatManIsDead discarded her birth name of 'Mary']] because it was Arkham who gave it to her. |
| 314 | ** To Modeus. Both are [[TheAce among the best of the guild]] in terms of strength, skill, and intelligence, being [[MasterSwordsman swordfighters of the highest caliber]]. They are also very fond (and extremely protective) of [[EveryonesBabySister Wendy]], who see's [[ParentsSubstitute them as great parents]]. Whereas Erza is fully human, a FieryRedhead and [[OneOfTheBoys frequently joins in on the antics of the guild]], Modeus is a demon that [[MartialPacifist prefers to fight whenever possible]], never participates in the guilds rowdier antics and [[OnlySaneMan typically acts as the voice of reason]]. |
| 315 | * ForceAndFinesse: |
| 316 | ** She is the finesse to [[TheBigGuy Dante's]] force. Although both of them are [[TheAce forces to be reckoned with]], Erza prefers to fight [[LadyOfWar in a serious and graceful manner]] with several weapons and armors using [[{{Hammerspace}} Requip: The Knight]], while Dante is much more brash and fights head on with his arsenal of Devil Arms. |
| 317 | ** However she fulfills the role as Force to [[AnIcePerson Gray]] and [[BadassPacifist Modeus]] whenever she teams up with them. |
| 318 | * HumansAreSpecial: At her core, she believes in the goodness in humanity. |
| 319 | ** In the Vergil arc she is shocked and outraged that Vergil wishes to cut off his humanity and become fully demonic. She attempted to make him pay but was unfortunately outmatched against him. |
| 320 | ** During the Edolas arc, part of her fight with her counterpart Erza Knightwalker is a debate on humanity. Knightwalker believes humanity is about greed and conquest, but Scarlet believes that at their core, humans are good and compassionate. |
| 321 | ** In her second fight with Credo during the Order of the Sword arc, she asks the latter how and why he would sacrifice his humanity for his Angelo form. Unlike her first fight with Vergil, she is able to defeat Credo with her remaining power, while giving a BadassBoast. |
| 322 | ---> '''Erza''': I don't know what you did to obtain this power, what you've had to sacrifice or anything of the sort. But I will not allow myself to lose to someone like you, someone who is willing to forsake his humanity to become something else, be it demon or angel. I am an ordinary human, and I ''will'' defeat you! |
| 323 | * MagicKnight: Her [[HammerSpace Requip: The Knight]] allows her to [[MultiMeleeMaster swap between different armors and weapons with different abilities]], which she uses with [[StrongAndSkilled great power and finesse]]. |
| 324 | * MultiMeleeMaster: Erza's got an even bigger repertoire of weapons than Dante (except for firearms) and knows how to use every piece of it flawlessly. |
| 325 | * MythicalMotifs: Fairies. Her guild is named Fairy Tail and her guildmates are sometimes called fairies, but she is [[RedBaron Titania the Fairy Queen]] and one of their strongest members. [[spoiler:The [[CombinationAttack Unison Raid]] with Dante is called "Fairy King: Crimson Oberon"]]. |
| 326 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:She's already an OneWomanArmy, but in Chapter 20: ''Storming the Hellgates'', she gains a Devil Arm armor called Armadura Diabla, and the armor's ability is destruction, destroying everything and anything that is touched by her demonic spear, and additionally, her armor grants her an enhanced physical capability and protection.]] |
| 327 | * PersonalityPowers: Her magic is [[InstantArmor Requip:]] [[{{Hammerspace}} The Knight]], which lets her quickly switch between armors and weapons with different abilities and specialties, making her an master melee fighter in terms of power and versatility. Fitting given her strong will and resourceful nature honed over her rough life. |
| 328 | * RedIsHeroic: She got long scarlet hair upon which her last name is based, her usual magic aura has a magenta color, and like the rest of Fairy Tail is one of the main heroes. |
| 329 | * RedIsViolent: [[spoiler:When Erza requips to her Devil Arm armor Armadura Diabla, her body glows dark red color as opposed to a bright golden color, and she becomes more unhinged and violent the more fight is dragged out]]. |
| 330 | * SimpleYetAwesome: During the three month training for the Grand Magic Games, Dante suggests [[spoiler:that rather than using an armor with the specific weapon it's paired with, she mix and match several weapons in her arsenal with different armors. While she admits it's more draining than her usual method, and how basic such an idea is, doing so completely averts the CripplingOverspecialization each of her armors has and ''vastly'' expands her versatility, letting her switch between a staggering number of combinations of defensive and offensive options. She can even [[DualWield multiple weapons]] with different properties for extra oomph as needed]]. |
| 331 | * StrongAndSkilled: Is a talented and experienced MagicKnight whose physical power is the benchmark for the [[TheAce S-Class wizards]] in her guild. On the magical side, she has ''immense'' reserves of power and an armory's worth of enchanted weapons and armor to take advantage of it, giving her a level of versatility ''far'' beyond most of her guildmates. She wields all of them with exceptional skill and displays a keen sense of tactics, making optimum use of said options to counter her opponents powers and abilities, even overcoming those that are stronger than her. |
| 332 | * TeamMom: Erza is always ready to help others in her guild. Wendy even admits during the Edolas arc that she sees Erza as a mother. [[spoiler:She stands by Lady throughout her time trying to kill Arkham, and hugs her when she succeeds.]] |
| 333 | * WorthyOpponent: Being an [[TheAce S-Class mage]] and MasterSwordswoman, she is a force to be reckoned with, which even her enemies acknowledge. |
| 334 | ** Throughout the Edolas arc, Dante is full of praise for her abilities, having sparred with her quite frequently. She reciprocates the sentiment, confidently telling her Edolas counterpart there's no way Dante would lose to her. |
| 335 | ** Despite viewing most humans as insects, Vergil commends her for lasting the longest out of her comrades, as well as matching him in combat. He has to break out his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] to net himself a win, something he greatly respects her for. |
| 336 | ** While initially hostile, she and Erza Knightwalker develop mutual respect for each other's combat prowess and [[{{Determinator}} willpower]] over the course of their battle, even parting on good terms. |
| 337 | ** Being a NobleDemon and BloodKnight, Azuma of Grimoire Heart respected her power even before their fight. This only grew as their fight raged on, and after seeing her excellent teamwork with Dante. [[spoiler:Even on the verge of death, [[GracefulLoser he sincerely commended them for defeating him,]] and kept his promise to restore their allies' power]]. |
| 338 | ** Develops this with Credo, [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership Supreme General of the Order of the Sword]], whose [[MasterSwordsman sword skills she calls 'perfect']], and matching her despite [[BadassNormal lacking any magical powers at the time]]. He reciprocates, being one of the few members of the Order to remember Fairy Tails' former reputation, respectfully referring to her title of 'Titania' in their first match, and even while winning their second, sincerely praises power and skill. Even in loss, [[GracefulLoser he calls it a great fight.]] [[spoiler:When a dying Credo almost falls, she grabs him, and look at each other eyes not just as fellow warriors, but also kindred souls that value the lives of their loved ones above all else and vowed to honor his last request to save both [[BigBrotherInstinct Kyrie and Nero]].]] |

| 341 | [[folder:Wendy Marvell]] |
| 342 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wendy_ft_2018.png]] |
| 343 | |
| 344 | A young Sky Dragon Slayer known as "Sky Maiden", was raised by the dragon Grandeeney in the art of healing and support magic, until her disappearance in X777. |
| 345 | ---- |
| 346 | * ACupAngst: Shows despair at the thought of being flat even as an adult, from her reaction to Reedus's painting. |
| 347 | ** When reunited with [[ChildhoodFriend Sheeree]] after the TimeSkip, the latter (who is now an adult) made a joke about her chest size which causes Wendy's face turn red like a tomato and steam shooting from her head like a locomotive. |
| 348 | * AdaptationalBadass: Seeks combat training from Modeus, honing her skills to a far greater degree much earlier than in canon. The spell book Porylusica gives her is also filled with original spells as she's already mastered Sky Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Shattering Light Sky Drill even before the timeskip. |
| 349 | ** Best showcased in her fight with Sherria, where she displays much more tactical acumen, quickly identifying her opponents shortcomings, and [[spoiler:even manages to net a win, whereas in canon she only managed to tie!]] |
| 350 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: She is a girl of a cutie that pretty much gets patted by a lot of people. That includes Lady, Trish, Modeus, and Edolas!Eva. |
| 351 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: |
| 352 | ** Her first lesson learned from Modeus is to observe her opponent. This allows her to win her fight with Sheeree/Leviatha, noting and exploiting her exhaustion from copying so many powers. |
| 353 | ** Taken up a notch after her training for the Grand Magic Games, where using her Sky Dragon Magic in conjunction with them further boosts her already keen senses. This lets her pick up on how heavily Sherria breathes in their fight, and quickly deduces that while she can heal her injuries, doing so still taxes her stamina. |
| 354 | * BadassAdorable: Is a sweet twelve-year-old girl that elicits CutenessProximity from people meeting her for the first time. She is ''also'' a [[KungFuWizard Dragon Slayer]] that can throw hands with some of Fairy Tail's best after training from Modeus. |
| 355 | * BattleAura: Her magic is light blue in color, [[AnimalBattleAura and sometimes takes the shape of her adoptive mother, Grandeeney the Sky Dragon]]. |
| 356 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Is among Fairy Tail's most openly friendly members, and certainly their most polite. Get on her bad side however, and she'll show exactly what a Dragon Slayer trained by an apprentice of ''[[WorldsBestWarrior Sparda]]'' can do in a fight. |
| 357 | * BigBrotherWorship: Being the youngest member of the group, she looks up to many of the older members. |
| 358 | ** While she's not blind to [[IdiotHero his faults]], she greatly admires Natsu, outright calling him 'brother'. What's more, she bases many of her moves on his and at one point uses his signature [[BorrowedCatchphrase 'I've got a fire in my belly]]. |
| 359 | ** Very much admires Erza for being a CoolBigSis and strives to become a LadyOfWar just like her. She even admits in Edolas that she sees her as a mother. |
| 360 | ** Quickly develops some for [[ChildhoodFriend Sheeree]] after seeing how powerful she became during the [[TimeSkip 7 Year Time Skip]], especially her [[AllYourPowersCombined expanded uses]] for [[PowerCopying Magic Drain]]. The latter even encourages her to call her big sister. |
| 361 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Modeus, both are AllLovingHero who [[MartialPacifist prefer peace, yet will fight when forced]], no wonder they are like father and daughter. |
| 362 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: |
| 363 | ** As time goes on, she starts making use of Natsu's "I've got a fire in my belly". |
| 364 | ** [[spoiler:In Chapter 36: ''Thunder and Sky'', Wendy uses Dante's famous catchphrase after defeating Sherria: "Jackpot".]] |
| 365 | * CombatMedic: Wendy's highly proficient in healing magic and develops her combative prowess even further under Modeus' guidance. |
| 366 | * EveryonesBabySister: As one of the guild's youngest members, Wendy is naturally doted on and protected by nearly everyone else. |
| 367 | * ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Much like Natsu, Wendy does not take kindly to threats towards Grandeeney, the dragon who raised her. Nor does she sit idly when Modeus, her teacher and [[ParentalSubstitute father figure]], appears to be in danger. [[spoiler:Kraken learned both cases of this the hard way.]] |
| 368 | * ForceAndFinesse: She is the finesse whenever she teams up with [[TheBigGuy Natsu]]. While she uses [[BlowYouAway Sky Dragon Slayer Magic]] with a [[LadyOfWar graceful fighting style that favors agility and tactics]], Natsu's [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]] compliments his [[AttackAttackAttack great ferocity]] and sheer [[SuperToughness toughness]] in combat. |
| 369 | * ItsAllMyFault: After Natsu [[TakingTheBullet takes a swing from Vergil to protect her]] and almost dies, she desperately heals him before tearfully apologizing. He kindly says that it was Vergil that injured him, not her. |
| 370 | * MythicalMotifs: Similar to Natsu, dragons, though in her case it is [[BlowYouAway sky dragons]] rather than traditional ones. Also counts as PersonalityPowers in that [[BewareTheNiceOnes she's usually calm and gentle, but can be a very powerful foe when enraged]]. |
| 371 | * NiceGirl: Is one of the most openly friendly members of Fairy Tail, and one of the few who is consistently polite, never engaging in the [[VitriolicBestBuds exchange of insults and fights between members]]. |
| 372 | * ParentalSubstitute: Admits that she sees Modeus as a father figure. |
| 373 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Is a twelve-year-old girl that is about half as tall as several of her teammates. Doesn't stop her from smacking around just as many demons and dark wizards as said teammates. |
| 374 | * StrongAndSkilled: Being [[BlowYouAway Sky Dragon Slayer]] and thanks to [[MartialPacifist Modeus]] training her, she TookALevelInBadass and is among best fighters in [[BadassCrew Fairy Tail]], although [[BadassAdorable quite cute too]]. |
| 375 | * SwordAndSorcerer: She is the sorcerer to [[TheAce Dante]], [[MagicKnight Erza]], and [[MartialPacifist Modeus']] swords whenever they fight together. The trio are [[MasterSwordsman masters of swordplay]] and [[MultiMeleeMaster several other weapons]], while Wendy shines as a SupportPartyMember with MagicEnhancement and healing. She's also CombatMedic and KungFuWizard who can fight alongside them thanks to her [[BlowYouAway Sky Dragon Slayer Magic]], playing with this trope. |
| 376 | * TookALevelInBadass: |
| 377 | ** In the ''Vergil arc'' she was a DamselInDistress when she gets kidnapped by Vergil, and tried and failed to hit him with [[BreathWeapon Sky Dragon Roar]] twice, but missed him on both occasions. After some training with Modeus, in the Devil Hand Arc she was able to hit him this time, genuinely catching him off guard. ThirdTimesTheCharm indeed. |
| 378 | ** Like the other members, she improves greatly over the course of the three month training for the Grand Magic Games, honing her senses and expanding her arsenal to [[PowerCopying include attacks from enemies like Erigor and Vergil]]. |
| 379 | * VictoryByEndurance: In her fight with Sherria [[spoiler:she quickly realizes that her healing spells don't restore her stamina, and opts to keep up the pressure to force her opponent to continuously expend energy healing herself while conserving her own magic power]]. |
| 380 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Killed Erigor with Trish's teamwork through the Unison Raid spell and delivering fatal blow to Krakken in the Order of the Sword arc.]] |
| 381 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: With Sheeree/Leviatha, a member of Devil Hand who used to be a part of Cait Shelter. [[spoiler:Thankfully the two reconcile after her HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 382 | [[/folder]] |
| 383 | |
| 384 | [[folder:Carla]] |
| 385 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carla_ft_2018.png]] |
| 386 | |
| 387 | Carla is Wendy's serious-minded but well-meaning female Exceed partner and caretaker, born and raised at Cait Shelter after being sent from her native Edolas by her mother, Queen Shagotte. |
| 388 | ---- |
| 389 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 390 | ** In the Vergil arc, although she could have said it a ''lot'' better, she was quite right to call out for Dante not telling them about [[EvilTwin Vergil]] sooner, since doing so meant they were not prepared for him when he attacked the guild. |
| 391 | ** In the Devil Hand arc, despite admitting she never liked the girl, and her lack of sympathy for her plight, she accurately points out to Leviatha/Sheeree that ''she'' chose her own path as a Dark Wizard and unfairly [[NeverMyFault blames everything that went wrong for her on Wendy]]. [[spoiler:Subverted, and potentially deconstructed, after learning that it was not entirely Sheeree's fault either, on account of being manipulated by Arkham at her lowest point, on top of Carla's own attitude indirectly helping her down the dark path. To her credit she recognizes this and apologizes.]] |
| 392 | * MamaBear: |
| 393 | ** She is pretty protective towards Wendy, though can sometimes veer into MyBelovedSmother territory. |
| 394 | *** In "Vergil arc", when Vergil attempts to kidnap Wendy, Carla immediately protects her, but she is no match against him. When the rest of the guildmates found out where Vergil held her and the rest of the kidnapped members, she went instantly to save Wendy from the half-demon and was happy to see her, being the first one she freed. |
| 395 | *** In Devil Hand arc, repeatedly tries to dissuade her from joining in the assault on Temen-ni-gru, only relenting when she could join and still being protective. Also continues to be wary of [[MonsterClown Jester]], going to attack him each time he comes near Wendy, but sadly, not always with success. |
| 396 | *** During the Tenrou Island Arc, she was already suspicious of Mest, but quickly accompanies Panther-Lily to fly the entire way to Tenrou Island at the mere possibility that Wendy might be in danger. |
| 397 | ** Later develops this with [[TagalongKid Patty]] in ''Devil's Retribution'', being concerned at the girl gambling and being glad that Dante takes her out of the high stakes game. |
| 398 | ** Despite not knowing the girl as long, quickly develops this for Katja, owing to her [[IdenticalStranger resemblance to Wendy]]. [[spoiler:Makes when Racer kills her hit all the harder.]] |
| 399 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: |
| 400 | ** Gets hit with this hard in the Edolas Arc after [[spoiler:seemingly]] betraying her friends, especially Wendy. |
| 401 | ** [[spoiler:In the Devil Hand arc when she hears the full extent of Sheeree/Leviatha's DarkTroublePast, she realizes she played a part in her StartOfDarkness with her prior callousness. She is ashamed and regretful of what she did and apologizes to the girl shortly afterward.]] |
| 402 | * SoProudOfYou: Displays this whenever Wendy shows just how far she's come, especially in her battle against Sherria in the Grand Magic Games. |
| 403 | * WeakButSkilled: Like Happy she is not that powerful and is outmatched against any opponent, but working together with the rest of the guild she proves her use. Notably, during the Devil Hand arc, she helps Natsu and Dante against Arkham in his OneWingedAngel form, helping defeat him with the aid of Vergil. |

| 406 | [[folder:Lisanna Strauss]] |
| 407 | [[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lisanna_strauss.png]] |
| 408 | |
| 409 | Mirajane and Elfman's younger sister, who seemingly died on a mission years ago. Later revealed to have been transported to Edolas, and reunites with her friends from Earthland upon their arrival. |
| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | * AndThisIsFor: Delivers this to [[TheDragon Nelo Angelo]] in their brief fight during the Edolas Arc for all he's done to the Edolas version of Fairy Tail. |
| 412 | * AnimalMotif: While she's got all sorts of Animal Souls, her most frequently used seems to be [[KindHeartedCatLover Cat Soul]]. |
| 413 | ** [[spoiler:Later gains MythicalMotifs after getting Dragon Soul.]] |
| 414 | * AscendedExtra: In canon, she was largely OutOfFocus, even during her debut in the Edolas Arc. Here she joins the main group from the beginning of said arc and frequently accompanies Natsu and Happy on jobs after returning to Earthland. |
| 415 | * BattleCouple: Alongside [[StarPower Lucy]] and [[PlayingWithFire Natsu]] with great teamwork. |
| 416 | * BigSisterInstinct: |
| 417 | ** Inverted, she is the youngest of the Strauss Take Over siblings but she is just as worried and protective of her older siblings as they are of her. |
| 418 | *** In the Devil Hand arc when she finds out that her older sister Mira is kidnapped by the Seven Sins to use her [[BloodMagic blood]], she is naturally worried and wants to find her. When she encounters Asmodeua, who says she looks like her older sister, she demanded where she is and is happy when she heard she is okay with telepathy. |
| 419 | *** When Grimoire Heart attack Tenrou Island she again is worried for her older siblings. When she came back to camp she wasted no time hugging her older (and injured) brother and was quickly worried seeing how bad her older sister looked. |
| 420 | ** Straightforward with [[EveryonesBabySister Wendy]] just like the other members of their team. When they faced Zancrow the Fire God Slayer she protected her and when he said he was going to [[AttemptedRape Rape]] Wendy, Lisanna tried to protect the younger wizard (luckily for both of them that didn't happen). |
| 421 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: After [[spoiler:receiving her Take Over: Dragon Soul]], she begins to use Natsu's signature 'I'm fired up'. |
| 422 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Natsu, and unlike canon, it is much more prominent between the two, with Lisanna kissing Natsu for affection. |
| 423 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Discussed and Averted. Mentions that after Tenrou Island she wants to avoid becoming too dependent on her [[spoiler:Take Over: Dragon Soul]], and focuses on training the other animals in her arsenal. |
| 424 | * FighterMageThief: Compared to her older siblings, her [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Take Over:]] [[{{Animorphism}} Animal Soul]] best fits the role of a thief. While it's lacking in raw power, it compensates by being the most versatility, having a broader range of animal traits to choose from. [[spoiler:Her Dragon Soul is her most powerful form, giving her elements of fighter ''and'' mage on account of letting her imitate [[KungFuWizard Natsu's abilities]]]]. |
| 425 | * FireWaterJuxtaposition: She uses her [[spoiler:[[PlayingWithFire Dragon Soul]]]] against Juvia's [[MakingASplash water magic]] in ''Trial by Fire and Fear''. |
| 426 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: She's one of the few humans Porlyusica can tolerate for this reason. She has compassion for all living creatures, especially animals, and the reason why she got Animal Soul to begin with. |
| 427 | ** She also has an interest in dragons when she was a child she finds it incredible that Natsu was raised by a dragon named Igneel. A while later she talked to Wendy about her dragon [[FeatheredDragons Grandeeney]] because she was curious. |
| 428 | ** In ''Old Friends'' when a [[ItMakesSenseInContext pigeon lands on Erza's head]], she coos over it. [[LampshadeHanging A watching Happy remarks to Patty she was always great with animals]]. |
| 429 | * ItWasHisSled: She was the one who gave the speech to Byro, not Happy. |
| 430 | * KindheartedCatLover: Is one of the nicest members of Fairy Tail, and has a great love of cats, especially since she raised Happy. Her Cat Soul form is also her most used form, [[spoiler:next to her Dragon Soul.]] |
| 431 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: Although she wants to help her guildmates, she, along with Lucy, Trish, and Modeus, decide to sit out the fight with [[TheDreaded Vergil]], acknowledging she is no match against him. |
| 432 | * LightIsGood: She has [[MysticalWhiteHair short white hair]] with white guildmark on her left thigh, and she is among main heroines in the story. |
| 433 | * LittleBitBeastly: Her Animal Souls give her the powers of various animals, including traits like wings, claws, and snakes for arms. |
| 434 | * MaleMightFemaleFinesse: |
| 435 | ** She is the finesse to Natsu's might, notably in her [[spoiler:Dragon Soul. Compared to Natsu, who uses brute strength and fists, Lisanna primarily uses her claws and flight.]] |
| 436 | ** She also has this with her brother Elfman. While her Animal Soul has more versatility than Elfman's Beast Souls, Elfman's Beast Soul is more physically powerful. |
| 437 | * MultiformBalance: Lisanna's [[{{Animorphism}} Animal Soul]] let her transform herself and parts of her body into animals of different species, giving her several abilities. |
| 438 | ** Her [[CatGirl She-Cat]] is one of her most used abilities, giving her [[FragileSpeedster impressive speed, agility]] and claws on her hands and feet for slashing attacks. |
| 439 | *** [[spoiler:[[NextTierPowerUp It eventually evolves to Tigress]], covering her whole body in white tiger fur with black tiger stripes, as well being [[LightningBruiser much faster and stronger]]]]. |
| 440 | ** [[PowerGivesYouWings Harpy Wings and other bird forms]] give her {{Flight}} abilities. |
| 441 | ** Bull Soul give her increased strength and[[HornedHumanoid horns]] for [[UseYourHead ramming opponents]]. |
| 442 | ** Snake Arms turn her arms into boa constrictors, effectively rubber arms that can crush opponents. |
| 443 | ** [[spoiler:Dragon Soul is TheAce of her abilities, being [[LightningBruiser being very fast, strong, and tough]] along [[PlayingWithFire Fire Magic]] similar to dragons and Dragon Slayers]]. |
| 444 | ** Her Mermaid and Barracuda forms are great for underwater combat. |
| 445 | *** [[spoiler:While training for the Grand Magic Games, her Mermaid form gained the use of [[MakingaSplash Water Magic]], similar to Juvia's]]. |
| 446 | * NiceGirl: Like in canon, with her greater screentime letting this shine more. One such example is Lucy confessing her feelings for Natsu and stating despite being jealous of their relationshup she wants him to be happy and to be friends with Lisanna. [[spoiler:Lisanna is the one to suggest sharing Natsu, with Lucy agreeing with that logic.]] |
| 447 | * PersonalityPowers: She is a FriendtoAllLivingThings, especially [[KindheartedCatLover the Exceed she raised, Happy]]. [[VoluntaryShapeshifter Her Take Over]] is [[{{Animorphism}} Animal Soul]], which gives her transformations based on animals that reflects her love of them. |
| 448 | ** [[spoiler:The first time she unleashes [[TookALevelInBadass Dragon Soul]], she displays [[PlayingWithFire fiery tenacity]] to earn the chance to help her guildmates.]] |
| 449 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Her [[ColorCodedWizardry magic aura]] color is vibrant pink and next to her ActionGirl, she has a plenty of positive femine traits. |
| 450 | * PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Her [[TookALevelInBadass Dragon Soul]] has Fire Magic, with [[AwesomebyAnalysis Vergil]] noting that it is near identical to Natsu's: the flames of a dragon]]. |
| 451 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the Devil Hand arc, it was revealed that Mirajane, Elfman, and her are distant relatives to Angel/Sorano and Yukino because they are descendants of one of two priestesses whom Sparda was forced to sacrifice to lock Temen-ni-gru]]. |
| 452 | * [[ShortRangeFighterLongRangeFighter Short Range Gal Long Range Gal]]: Whenever she teams up with Lucy. Lucy fights at a distance with her whip alongside her [[SummonMagic summoned Celestial Spirits]], while Lisanna uses [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Take Over:]] [[{{Animorphism}} Animal Soul]] to take traits of animals and fight up close. |
| 453 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: It's noted by other characters that she and [[spoiler:Yukino Agira looks nearly identical despite only being distant relatives, with the only major difference being their hairstyles and eye color]]. |
| 454 | * SwordAndSorcerer: With [[spoiler:her love interest]], Natsu. Natsu is a [[KungFuWizard fist]] rather than a sword, but otherwise fits, preferring to [[LightningBruiser brawl up close]] with his [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]]. Lisanna can [[VoluntaryShapeshifter change into Animal Soul and Dragon Soul forms]]. |
| 455 | * TookALevelInBadass: |
| 456 | ** [[spoiler:After a near-fatal wound, Natsu heals her with a blood-based dragon ritual that gives her a ''Take Over: Dragon Soul''.]] |
| 457 | ** She also has more Animal Soul powers including; "Animal Soul: Bull" for [[UseYourHead head-butting with horns]]; "Animal Soul: Snake Arms" act as [[RubberMan stretching arms]] acting just as Boa Constrictors; "Animal Soul: Barracuda" for heavy underwater assault with [[LightningBruiser incredible speed and devastating blows]]. |
| 458 | ** This culminates in her being chosen to take part in the S-Class Exams. |
| 459 | * WeakButSkilled: Compared to her siblings [[TheAce Mirajane]] and [[TheBigGuy Elfman]], who are also Take Over users, her [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Animal Soul]] forms are lacking in power. She makes up for it by having a wider array of forms, and being more versatile in her options. [[spoiler:Dragon Soul lets her drop the 'weak' part thanks to its powerful [[PlayingWithFire Fire Magic]] and [[LightningBruiser physical power]], though she still doesn't pack as much of a punch as the likes of Natsu]]. |

| 463 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dmc1_4_trish.png]] |
| 464 | [[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click to see her Devil Trigger]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trish_devil_trigger_by_iron117prime_ddpiyov.jpg[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 465 | |
| 466 | A demon woman created by Mundus to kill Dante, deliberately giving her a striking resemblance to Dante's deceased mother, only for Trish to betray her former master. |
| 467 | ---- |
| 468 | * AdaptationalBadass: Trish is initially just as formidable as in canon, but here she [[spoiler:eventually gains her own [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]], something her canon self lacks, and boosting her power level to match Fairy Tail's heavy hitters]]. [[spoiler:In ''Between Heaven and Hell'' chapter, she absorbed Gloria's demonic power after killing her, changing lightning's color from blue to white.]] |
| 469 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Dante and even herself admit that Laxus' lightning is stronger than hers. |
| 470 | ** To her consternation, [[EvilCounterpart Gloria]] is also this to her, having lightning equal to Laxus' and overpowering her in their first fight. She turns the tables on Gloria later on, however, [[spoiler:and even claims her clone's power upon defeating her.]] |
| 471 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: [[spoiler:Her [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] gives her grey-black skin.]] |
| 472 | * BattleAura: Her demonic power manifests as a bright yellow colour when she gets ready to battle. |
| 473 | * CoolSword: Trish still uses the Devil Sword Sparda here as in canon, despite certain parties being interested in it. |
| 474 | * CoolBigSister: She is this for Wendy, Lisanna, and, of course, Lucy. |
| 475 | ** She develops a bond with Wendy and is protective of her when she is in danger. When she sees a drawing from Reedus having a flat chest, Wendy feels some despair, so Trish awkwardly offers to give her some womanly advice to help her out(without guarantees) with the younger girl begging her to do so. |
| 476 | ** She immediately offers to partner up with Lisanna for the S-Class Trials. |
| 477 | ** Develops this with Lucy over time, even listening to her [[GreenEyedMonster issues with Natsu and Lisanna]] and offering advice. This becomes even more prominent in the Order of the Sword arc, [[spoiler:from Capricorn's comment about her being the kind of daughter Eva would have liked]], asking if she could be considered a Heartfilia. |
| 478 | * DarkIsNotEvil: She is a demon that usually wears black leather, [[spoiler:and her [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] is quite scary looking]] but is a hero through and through. |
| 479 | * DominoMask: [[spoiler:Has one in her [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]].]] |
| 480 | * HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:Lucy eventually gets official legal papers with Morrison's help that make Trish an official Heartfilia. The demon cries TearsOfJoy when she learns of this.]] |
| 481 | * HealingFactor: As a demon, she is quicker recovering from injuries than her human guildmates. |
| 482 | * JustFriends: She's made it clear that she only sees herself and Dante as close friends and partners. |
| 483 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In the Devil Hand arc, she wanted to help her guildmates, but she, along with Lucy, Lisanna, and Modeus, decide to sit out on the fight with [[TheDreaded Vergil]] Though in her case, it is because she was exhausted. |
| 484 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: Her debut chapter has her come into conflict with Erza over the latter mistaking her for a demon. Trish could have easily cleared it up, but [[BloodKnight wanted an opportunity for an all-out fight against the famous 'Titania']]. |
| 485 | * LightningBruiser: Downplayed given she is typically overshadowed by the likes of Dante and Erza, but she displayed enough power and speed to clash with the latter in her debut chapter, and is typically tough enough to take plenty of hits and keep going. Bonus points for her ShockAndAwe powers making her a ''literal'' LightningBruiser. |
| 486 | * MagicKnight: She is a [[ShockAndAwe lightning wielding she-devil]] that mainly uses the [[{{BFS}} Devil Sword Sparda]]. [[spoiler:Later she adds [[SinisterScythe Azrael]] and [[DualWielding Dive Sepid]] to her arsenal after defeating and killing [[DeathByAdaptation Erigor]] and [[EvilDoppelganger Gloria]] respectively.]] |
| 487 | * PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:In her [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] form, she gains large bat-like wings]]. |
| 488 | * RageBreakingPoint: After being [[PeoplePuppets controlled]] by Mary Hughes' wand several times, culminating in being forced to impale Capricorn, she shocks the latter unconscious. Afterwards, she remarks that she's had enough bad experiences with people using her as a puppet. |
| 489 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:Has solid red eyes in her [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]].]] |
| 490 | * RideTheLightning: Can turn herself into a bolt of lightning to [[FlashStep zip around the battlefield]]. By ''Devil's Retribution,'' she can even carry passengers. |
| 491 | * ShockAndAwe: Her favored means of attack. In ''Devil's Retribution,'' she's learned how to transform into lightning for extra speed. |
| 492 | * SinisterScythe: [[spoiler:Trish gained the possession of this pseudo-Devil Arm scythe; Azrael, after she killed Erigor in ''The Black Wings Of The Caduto'' chapter. During three months of training, Trish learned that Erigor's residual of demonic power have been imprinted into the scythe, thus the pseudo-Devil Arm has the ability to manipulate the black wind.]] |
| 493 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:Gains access to a Devil Trigger of her own during Grimoire Heart invasion.]] |
| 494 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Killed Zoldeo in the Tenrou Island arc, Erigor with Wendy's teamwork and Bael in the Order of the Sword arc.]] |
| 495 | * YellowLightningBlueLightning: Has blue lightning. [[spoiler:Her [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] has multiple colors, including blue, yellow, purple, and white.]] [[spoiler:After killing Gloria and absorbing her power in ''Between Heaven and Hell'' chapter, her lightning color has switched from blue to white.]] |

| 498 | [[folder:Lady]] |
| 499 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dmc4_lady.png]] |
| 500 | |
| 501 | A BadassNormal demon hunter formerly known as Mary. Her current name came from Dante's penchant for just calling her "Lady" after she refused to introduce herself. |
| 502 | ---- |
| 503 | * BadassNormal: Is the only member of the guild to have no powers, magical or demonic. She more than makes up for it with her extensive arsenal of guns, explosives, her signature rocket launcher, and ImprobableAimingSkills. When participating in the S-Class trial, Dante chooses her as his partner, showing his faith in her skills over the others' magic. |
| 504 | * BattleAura: [[spoiler:When she uses her Devil Slayer Magic, she gives off a silver aura.]] |
| 505 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: [[spoiler:One of her moves is Steel Devil Void Blade, which transforms her arms into long straight swords with a jagged blade at the end. And they look much shinier than Gajeel's iron sword.]] |
| 506 | * {{BFG}}: Her Kalina Ann, as per canon. [[spoiler:Using her Steel Devil Slayer Magic, she can make one with a move called Steel Devil Bazooka, which fires the rockets.]] |
| 507 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: Uses Dante's signature 'Jackpot' in her fight against Nebra during ''True Justice''. |
| 508 | * BreathWeapon: [[spoiler:Her Steel Devil Rage attack is similar to Dragon Slayers' Dragon Roar attacks.]] |
| 509 | * ChromeChampion: [[spoiler:She can use her Steel Devil Skin to coat her skin with smooth and shiny silver steel for defense.]] |
| 510 | * DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:Wields Devil Slayer Magic, which is explicitly stated to use demonic power (which has a corruptive effect), and is firmly one the side of the heroes]]. |
| 511 | * {{Foil}} |
| 512 | ** To Erza, with both being badass {{Action Girl}}s with [[DarkAndTroubledPast dark pasts]], TheDreaded to their group of friends, and primarily fight using their respective weapons. But while Erza is a mage who makes use of a vast array of armors and melee weapons, Lady is a BadassNormal whose arsenal consists entirely of firearms [[spoiler:prior to [[EmpoweredBadassNormal developing magic]].]] Erza, [[SugarAndIcePersonality despite her intense demeanor is openly affectionate towards her friends]], and acts as a TeamMom for the group, while Lady is typically abrasive and rarely ever openly shows affection. Each had someone they were close to as a child who ultimately betrayed them, Jellal and [[ArchnemesisDad Arkham]] respectively. While Erza was given her last name by [[ChildhoodFriend Jellal]] and keeps it to this day, Lady actually [[ThatManIsDead discarded her birth name of 'Mary']] because it was Arkham who gave it to her. |
| 513 | ** To Gray, with both being dark-haired, [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] individuals with a DarkAndTroubledPast relating to the loss of a parent. They are also both companions to their respective friends in red while being unafraid to [[VitriolicBestBuds insult them as much as they help them]]. However while Gray lost both his parents (and later [[ParentalSubstitute his foster mother Ur]]) to the demon Deliora, and has long since let go of revenge, Lady lost her mother to [[ArchnemesisDad her father]] and wishes to avenge her to this day. Gray's arsenal of weapons are made using his [[AnIcePerson Ice-Make magic]] and are almost entirely for melee, while Lady carries an armory's worth of guns on her, with only [[{{BFG}} Kalina Ann]] having a blade attached for melee. And while Gray and Natsu have known each other since childhood, Dante and Lady met well into their respective devil-hunting careers, though they were close enough to share their respective DarkAndTroubledPast's much sooner than the former two did. |
| 514 | ** To Lucy, having issues with their fathers, using fighting styles that focus on combat at a distance compared to their friends up close and personal ones, and being [[OnlySaneMan the saner members]] of [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits Fairy Tail]]. However while Lucy had issues with Jude, the two ultimately care for one another, with her being appalled at Vergil asking why she didn't kill him, and him coming to greatly regret his [[AbusiveParent poor parenting]] over the time skip. By contrast, Lady very much wants [[ArchnemesisDad Arkham]] ''dead'', and he clearly shows no regrets about killing her mother in his pursuit of power, making the animosity very justified. Lucy uses her magic to summon Celestial Spirits for combat alongside her her whip, a mid-range weapon, while Lady fights herself with an extensive range of firearms. And while Lucy [[CowardlyLion prefers to avoid a fight whenever possible]] Lady [[BloodKnight relishes a good challenge]]. Even their appearances contrast, with Lucy being [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde]] who wears bright colors and Lady being black-haired and wears rather plain clothing. |
| 515 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: [[spoiler:As an experiment, Arkham implants a lacrima into Lady. It's not until the Tenrou Island Arc that it takes effect, giving her Steel Devil Slayer Magic, on top of her extensive arsenal of firearms and explosives.]] |
| 516 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler:When her Devil Slayer Magic is activated, her eyes glow green and red.]] |
| 517 | * GoodWearsWhite: Averted. Lady prefers [[DarkIsNotEvil darker colors]], as shown when she's wearing a black wedding gown with a gothic style. |
| 518 | * ExtraOreDinary: [[spoiler:An implanted Lacrima gives her Steel Devil Slayer Magic, letting her coat her skin, form a blade from her arm, and use [[BreathAttack Steel Devil's Rage]].]] |
| 519 | * HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: Is incredibly annoyed at Happy's suggestion that she has feelings for Dante, angrily listing the latter's bad qualities (constant debt, slovenly living space) before threatening to shoot the talking cat if he ever suggests it again. |
| 520 | * MagicKnight: [[spoiler:Her [[DemonSlayer Steel Devil Slayer Magic]] allows her to cover her body with steel for defense, as well shapeshift weapons made of steel, like sword, gauntlets, bazooka, as well enhancing her guns and bullets with the steel. |
| 521 | * MetallicMotifs: Steel, reflecting her status as [[ActionGirl a bonafide badass]] with an [[{{Determinator}} unyielding will]] and an arsenal of forearms on her at all times. [[spoiler:Fits her even more once she gets [[ExtraOreDinary Steel Devil Slayer Magic]].]] |
| 522 | * MoreDakka: Just as in canon, she primarily uses firearms in battle. [[spoiler:When she uses her Devil Slayer Magic, she can power up her weapons and make them rapid-fire, called Steel Devil Bullet Barrage.]] |
| 523 | * MultiRangedMaster: Lady always carries a collection of firearms wherever she goes. [[spoiler:She even ''becomes'' a ranged weapon herself with [[BreathWeapon Steel Devil's Rage]] when she unlocks Steel Devil Slayer Magic.]] |
| 524 | * MythicalMotifs: Devils and demons. She is a Devil Hunter that kills demons for a living. [[spoiler:Becomes more when she is empowered with Devil Slayer Magic, particularly Steel Devil Slayer.]] |
| 525 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Killed demonized Yomazu with Gajeel's combination breath attack.]] |
| 526 | * WeaponBasedCharacterization: Her preferred weapons are firearms like guns and her signature [[{{BFG}} rocket launcher]]. [[spoiler:Her [[DemonSlayer Steel Devil Slayer Magic]] lets her to morph her arms into melee weapons like swords and gauntlets, but she prefers to use that power for enhancing or morphing into firearms, showing how greater her ActionGirl status has become]]. |
| 527 | * WouldHurtAChild: Justified since Leviatha/Sheeree was an enemy that captured her. [[spoiler:When she heard of her DarkAndTroubledPast and that Arkham used her as an UnwittingPawn she let it go.]] |
| 528 | [[/folder]] |
| 529 | |
| 530 | [[folder:Modeus]] |
| 531 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modeus.jpg]] |
| 532 | |
| 533 | One of the two apprentices of the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda. He was entrusted with the will of Sparda before his master's revolt in the Demon World. |
| 534 | ---- |
| 535 | * TheAce: Modeus is among the most well rounded members in the guild in the terms of intelligence and [[BadassPacifist fighting prowess]]. Comes with being a former student of [[WorldsGreatestWarrior Sparda]] himself, as well as [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld 2,000 years]] of experience. |
| 536 | * AdaptationalBadass: In canon he had ''one'' fight against Dante, which he lost easily. Here, he is a MartialPacifist and displays the kind of power you'd expect from an apprentice of Sparda. |
| 537 | * AscendedExtra: Was a one-off character in the animated series, who was killed in his debut episode. Here he avoids the events that lead up to his death and joins the main cast. |
| 538 | * BattleAura: His demonic power is silver/white color. |
| 539 | * BadMoonRising: One of his most powerful attacks is Demon Sword: Chaotic Moon which he formed a full red moon that fires [[ShockAndAwe red lightning]]. |
| 540 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Modeus is a polite, gentle person, but he's also a former apprentice of [[WorldsBestWarrior Sparda]] and hasn't forgotten his lessons. |
| 541 | * CosmicMotifs: The Moon. He is known as the [[RedBaron Demon of the Moon]], and many of his attacks are strongly associated with the moon. |
| 542 | * CoolSword: [[spoiler:Previously, Modeus used two black swords in combat, but started to use a new sword: Hunter's Moon, at the end of Tenrou Island arc as his main weapon]]. |
| 543 | * CoolTeacher: He is this towards Wendy, with promising results. |
| 544 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He wears mostly black clothing, and his true demon form is covered in black [[ScaledUp scales]] and has claws. However, he is arguably the nicest and most heroic member of the guild, and Wendy does not find him that scary. |
| 545 | * DualWielding: Modeus is a master with his twin swords. |
| 546 | * EnergyBow: His most powerful spell, formed by combining his two swords, 'Lunar Goddess of the Hunt: Artemis'. |
| 547 | * FriendToAllChildren: He sure is, which is why he bonded with Wendy rather easily and when he encounters Leviatha/Sheeree he's shocked and asks why she joined a dark guild. He even asked her to leave after their first confrontation because her forces are no more. A while later when Sheeree reformed Modeus is among those standing up for her against the Rune Knights when they come to arrest her. |
| 548 | * GeniusBruiser: Is a MasterSwordsman who was trained by [[WorldsBestWarrior Sparda]] himself and has all the power and skill that entails. He is also very knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics, frequently serving as MrExposition to Fairy Tail, and proves capable of identifying the scope of an enemy's abilities from a brief description. |
| 549 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: In his true form his eyes glow orange. |
| 550 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: He always strives to help his comrades, but in the Devil Hand arc, he, along with Lucy, Lisanna, and Trish, decide to sit out the fight with [[TheDreaded Vergil]], as he was too tired to match someone like him. |
| 551 | * LightIsGood: Although he is more of an example of DarkIsNotEvil, his demonic aura has a silver/white glow and his guild emblem is white. |
| 552 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: Despite being [[Really700YearsOld 2,000 years old]], he looks quite youthful with long black hair and delicate features. He is outright called pretty boy by multiple characters. |
| 553 | * {{Lunacy}}: Has a moon motif and his attacks are moon-based too. He is even called [[RedBaron Demon of the Moon]]. |
| 554 | * MageMarksman: Lunar Goddess of the Hunt: Artemis is one of his strongest attacks and manifests a bow and arrow. |
| 555 | * MagicKnight: Although he's [[BadassPacifist peace-loving demon]], he's still an former apprentice of Sparda as ever and his fighting style makes use of his demonic power, which is quite similar to magic. |
| 556 | * MasterSwordsman: He was trained by ''Sparda'' himself, so this is to be expected. |
| 557 | * TheMentor: Wendy asks him to train her on how to fight properly. |
| 558 | * MoralityPet: His first one was his brother, Baul, but after his death, he joined Fairy Tail and Wendy became his new MoralityPet, having a father-and-daughter relationship with her. Carla even says that Wendy is quite fond of him and he could be a better role model for her than [[SirSwearsALot Dante]] and [[HotBlooded Natsu]]. |
| 559 | * MrExposition: Having been an apprentice of Sparda and being over 2000 years old, he is quite knowledgeable on many things, frequently playing this role to his guildmates. |
| 560 | ** During the Edolas arc, he (along with Dante) confirm that Nelo Angelo is a demon, and explains how it is that they have no Edolas counterparts, originating from the demon world and not Earthland. |
| 561 | ** He explains that Temen-Ni-Gru was created by demon worshippers as a bridge between Earthland and the Underworld, as well as a prison for demons representing the seven deadly sins that were sealed with the sacrifice of a human priestess. [[spoiler:He also realizes that Lisanna, Elfman, Mirajane, and Angel are likely descendants of said priestess, hence why Devil Hand is after them.]] |
| 562 | ** He is the only one to realize the significance of the magic the Eight Kin of Purgatory from Grimoire Heart use, being shocked that they have access to lost magic. |
| 563 | ** Addresses Acnologia by several of his titles upon the monster's appearance, such as the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, the Dragon King, and the Dragon Butcher. Reveals that he slaughtered countless dragons, to the shock of the dragon slayers. |
| 564 | ** When Credo is told about the magic Kyrie wields which is called [[spoiler:Arc of Seraph, one of the very first Magics used by mankind that's so sacred and divine that's even stronger than most demonic powers]]. |
| 565 | * OnlySaneMan: It says something about Fairy Tail when a demon is one of its most level-headed and calmest members. |
| 566 | * OneoftheGirls: Primary with [[EverybodyBabySister Wendy]] and [[MamaBear Carla]] as Modeus is among most [[OnlySanePerson normal acting]] and [[MartialPacifist peaceful]], as expected compared to most girls being OneoftheBoys attics. |
| 567 | * PapaWolf: Gets very protective whenever any of the villains threaten Wendy when he is nearby. |
| 568 | ** He later protects Asuka when Flare tries to take her hostage in her match with Lucy. |

| 570 | * SoProudOfYou: In the Grand Magic Games, is immensely proud of Wendy's performance in her fight with Sherria. |
| 571 | * PowerGivesYouWings: He has insect-like wings on his back in his true form. |
| 572 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Despite his youthful appearance, he's actually over 2,000 years old. |
| 573 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:''The Eclipse Project'' reveals that he knew Acnologia killed Sparda. He didn't tell Dante this out of fear that Dante would go after Acnologia in an attempt to get revenge, a move that would be borderline suicide.]] |
| 574 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: In canon, he attempted to avenge his brother after Dante killed him (in self-defense). Here Modeus himself was forced to do so and does not attempt the same. |
| 575 | * StrongAndSkilled: Is a MasterSwordsman trained by [[WorldsBestWarrior Sparda]] and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld over a millenium]] of experience makes him among the best fighters in the guild despite being [[BadassPacifist pacifist]]. While the strong part was initially downplayed, he quickly grows into it after unlocking his own equivalent of Devil Trigger, putting him in the same weight class as [[spoiler:[[OneWingedAngel a Mundus-empowered Nelo Angelo]]]]. |
| 576 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:The strength and will of his teacher Sparda passed onto him lets Modeus gain his own Devil Trigger, becoming more formidable than ever.]] |
| 577 | * SwordBeam: Demon Sword Phantom Moon, it allows him launch series of crescent-moon-shape phantom projectiles. |
| 578 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Killed Nelo Angelo in the Edolas arc, Job in the Tenrou Island arc.]] |
| 579 | * WeaponBasedCharacterization: Modeus can use [[DualWielding two swords]] with great skill and dexterity. [[spoilers:He formed both of these swords into one called Hunter's Moon with tenacity to defeat Grimoire Heart and protect [[TrueCompanions Fairy Tail]]]]. |

| 582 | [[folder:Nero]] |
| 583 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dmc4_nero.png]] |
| 584 | |
| 585 | A trash-talking Antisocial member of the Order of the Sword. A rebellious yet noble and good-hearted young man who is somehow part demon, which his right claw proves. [[spoiler:Nero is the youngest Son of Sparda and an unknown nun, making him the youngest of the Dark Knight's children.]] After the events of the Infinity Clock, he and Kyrie decide to join Fairy Tail. |
| 586 | ---- |
| 587 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In canon, he is the son of Vergil which makes him Dante's nephew but here he is not Vergil's son and it's unknown what his origins are. [[spoiler:In chapter 16 ''A New Devil Awakens'', it was revealed that Nero is actually an artificial Son of ''Sparda'' himself and a unknown nun who served in the Order, making him the younger half-brother of Dante and Vergil!]] |
| 588 | * AdaptationalBadass: A downplayed case [[spoiler:at first]], but his Devil Bringer displays EnergyAbsorption powers that his canon counterpart lacks. [[spoiler:He also gets the Devil Arms from the ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'' bosses instead of Dante, giving him a ''much'' greater arsenal than in canon.]] |
| 589 | * BashBrothers: [[spoiler:Forms a surprisingly good team with Natsu in their fight against Berial, with the latter even noting that their coordination is flawless.]] |
| 590 | * BattleAura: His demonic power manifests as a blue colour [[spoiler:and even forms his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]], manifesting as an ethereal warrior]]. |
| 591 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Coco, whom he has known since childhood, and is protective of in a fight. |
| 592 | * BigBrotherWorship: |
| 593 | ** Downplayed with Credo, whom he regularly mouths off to, but he clearly respects the guy, having learned how to fight from him. When he suspects the Order of hiding something [[spoiler:after seeing the empty Angelo armors]], he does suspect Credo but makes it clear he hopes he is wrong. Sadly becomes a BrokenPedestal after discovering he was [[spoiler:(mostly)]] complicit in Sanctus and Midnight's plan. |
| 594 | ** On the receiving end from Coco, who very clearly looks up to him and is the only one whom he doesn't have to persuade to keep his Devil Bringer a secret. [[spoiler:After learning of his origins, she consoles him with the fact that he was and always will be her big brother]]. When he and Kyrie decide to join Fairy Tail and say their goodbyes to the Order of the Sword, Coco cries into his chest saying she will miss him. Nero shares the sentiment with a single tear, calling Coco his little sis. |
| 595 | * TheBigGuy: Fit this role for the Order of the Sword and later Fairy Tail. He is counted among the strongest fighters of each group, using straightforward and powerful attacks with either his [[MasterSwordsman swords skills]] or [[EnhancedPunch Devil Bringer punches]]. [[spoiler:Not surprising given he is an artificial Son of Sparda]]. |
| 596 | * BloodKnight: Apparently enjoyed his second fight with Dante, and after joining Fairy Tail wastes little time participating in their usual group brawls. |
| 597 | * BlueIsHeroic: He wears a long dark blue jacket and his Devil Bringer is mostly blue. When he joins Fairy Tail, he gets a dark blue emblem. |
| 598 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Wears a dark blue coat, has demonic powers and is at worst a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who is one hundred percent loyal to his friends. |
| 599 | * DualWielding: Uses [[{{BFS}} Red Queen]] and Blue Rose (his gun) in each hand while in combat. [[spoiler:In his fight with Credo he does this with Red Queen and his new sword, [[KatanasAreJustBetter Masayoshi]], unleashing a relentless series of slashes to defeat his opponent.]] |
| 600 | * EnergyAbsorption: In Chapter 11: ''Fairies, Demons and Angels'', when Dante used Agni & Rudra to unleash a large vortex of fire and wind towards Nero, the latter managed to absorb it with his Devil Bringer by accident, enhancing its power by coating his spectral fist with the flames and wind. |
| 601 | * {{Foil}}: With Natsu. Both [[BloodKnight enjoy a good fight]], are fiercely protective of their respective FamilyOfChoice, have a ChildhoodFriendRomance with Kyrie and Lisanna respectively [[spoiler:and are the offspring of powerful non-human beings, Sparda and Igneel respectively]]. However, Natsu is a BareFistedMonk who heavily uses [[PlayingWithFire his magic]] in a fight, has a red ColorMotif, and is just [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} just as quirky]] as his teammates, even being [[ButtMonkey the butt of several jokes]] owing to his status as an IdiotHero. By contrast, Nero primarily uses his weapons in a fight, having only recently gained any demonic powers, dresses [[BlueIsHeroic in blue]], and for all his snarking actually acts as the OnlySaneMan of his group, generally being TheReliableOne, with no one questioning his competency. |
| 602 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:There are a few clues that he's related to Dante from the start: He looks and smells exactly like him (Dragon Slayer noses can pick up the scent), he has demonic powers similar to Sparda, and during their first fight, Dante notices that Nero's fighting style is similar to Vergil's.]] |
| 603 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Comes across as rather abrasive, foul mouthed, and has a problem with authority. Yet he is consistently the most polite and reasonable member of the Order of the Sword, greatly respects his honorary brother Credo, and is downright bashful whenever he interacts with his girlfriend. |
| 604 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: [[spoiler:Does ''not'' get Yamato in this story, as Vergil is still alive and well. Instead, he obtains Masayoshi, an artificial Devil Arm [[MadScientist Agnus]] made to replicate Yamato's properties, being an AbsurdlySharpBlade capable of producing RazorWind's.]] |
| 605 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: He is the darkness to Kyrie's light. He usually wears darker clothing including [[BadassLongcoat dark blue jacket]], while Kyrie wears a [[GoldAndWhiteAreDivine white dress with gold accents]]. Both have contrasting MythicalMotifs relating to [[FemaleAngelMaleDemon demons and angels respectively]], with Nero possessing demonic power [[spoiler:from being an artificial son of Sparda and Kyrie having the Arc of Seraph which is referred to as [[WhiteMagic the divine magic of angels]].]] |
| 606 | ** [[spoiler:He is once again the darkness when fighting Lucia in their respective [[SuperMode Devil Triggers]]. His is more demonic in appearance, while hers looks like an angel, even using [[LightEmUp (demonic) light-based attacks and abilities]]]]. |
| 607 | * LightningBruiser: Manages to match fellow LightningBruiser's Dante, Natsu, and Gajeel, and in his fight with Lucia (TheAce of Mermaid Heel) proves to be even ''stronger'' and ''tougher'' than his more experienced opponent. |
| 608 | * MaleMightFemaleFinesse: [[spoiler:[[TheBigGuy Nero's]] fight with [[TheAce Lucia]] has this on display with their respective [[SuperMode Devil Triggers]]. Nero is the might, being less experienced and noticeably slower than his opponent, [[SuperToughness enduring her hits]], using his [[BattleAura unique Devil Trigger]] and attacking by grabbing, slamming, and [[EnhancedPunch punching her with his Devil Bringer]]. Meanwhile, Lucia is the finesse, as she is not only more experienced, but uses [[SuperSpeed her greater speed]] and {{Flight}} to dance around her opponent, while using [[LightThemUp light demonic energy spears for range attacks]], and her graceful sword skills up close. Also subverted in the later stages as Nero shows precise use of the [[KatanasAreJustBetter Masayoshi]] to land some hits, and does so by [[AwesomenessByAnalysis breaking down]] her fighting style's timing, while she sticks to overwhelming offence.]] |
| 609 | * MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:His katana is called 'Masayoshi', which translates to 'Justice', as an in-between to Dante's [[{{BFS}} Rebellion]] and Vergil's [[KatanasAreJustBetter Yamato]] (which translates to 'Tranquility'), reflecting how Nero has the positive traits of both of the brothers.]] |
| 610 | * MightyGlacier: While usually considered a LightningBruiser, he comes across as this compared to Lucia in their fight, observers noting the latter's speed severely outclasses his own. That said, he manages to deal much more damage with the hits he ''does'' land. |
| 611 | * MythicalMotifs: Devils and demons, [[spoiler:just like his older half-brothers Dante and Vergil]]. |
| 612 | * OfficialCouple: With [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Kyrie]]. |
| 613 | * OnlySaneMan: Is the only one of the Holy Knights who actually tries to talk to Fairy Tail before things went south. |
| 614 | ** Also, he might be an anti-social sardonic punk, but he is still more serious (and sane) compared to [[BrattyHalfPint Coco]], [[TheBully Mary Hughes]], [[ElvisImpersonator Sugar Boy]], [[CasanovaWannabe Dan]], and [[InsufferableGenius Samuel]]. He even says they're all bunch of morons to his allies with a tone indicating that he is used to it. |
| 615 | * RedIsHeroic: In addition to his [[BlueIsHeroic blue jacket, Devil Bringer, and Fairy Tail emblem]], he wears a red zip-up hoodie underneath his jacket, his Devil Bringer as some red to it, and when in his Devil Trigger, his eyes turn red. He also has a red Fairy Tail emblem sewn on his jacket after joining them. |
| 616 | * RedOniBlueOni: Ironically, comes across as the red to Dante's blue, being more emotional and foul mouthed compared to the [[spoiler:elder]] Son of Sparda's laidback demeanour and preference for quips. His fighting style also favours brute force to the more experienced Devil Hunters polished emphasis on style. |
| 617 | * RevolversAreJustBetter: Nero retains his crack-shot ability with Blue Rose, his double-barreled revolver. |
| 618 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: It's pointed out Nero looks a lot like Dante and Vergil, which makes sense given [[spoiler:he's their younger half-brother]]. Even those who don't know the connection like Frosch, Lector, and Sting are able to pick up on the semblance with just a bit of staring. |
| 619 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:In ''A New Devil Awakens'' he unlocks Devil Trigger, and develops a BattleAura in the form of a devil manifested from his soul.]] |
| 620 | * SwordAndSorcerer: Is the sword to Kyrie's sorcerer. Nero fights [[SwordAndGun with swordplay, gunslinging]], and [[TheBigGuy powerful head on attacks like punching and grappling]], while Kyrie use [[spoiler:[[WhiteMagic Arc of Seraph magic]], which gives her [[LightEmUp various light based powers]] like [[CombatMedic healing]], [[HardLight solid light shields and projectiles]]]]. |
| 621 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Of the group sent to collect the Infinity Clock Hand from Fairy Tail, he is the only one who doesn't act like a {{Jerkass}}, advocating simply talking things out and being willing to listen to the Guild's request that they explain why they want the artifact in question. Even when things do devolve into a fight, he makes it clear it's NothingPersonal, and slugs Mary Hughes when she takes Patty hostage. |
| 622 | * WorthyOpponent: |
| 623 | ** After the match against Jura, the two develop mutual respect for each other's capabilities, with the two hoping to have a rematch in the future. |
| 624 | ** During the final day of GMG against Lucia, as they engaged in epic clash in their respective Devil Trigger, the two acknowledged each other as one of the strongest opponents they ever faced, with the two enjoying fighting each other. |

| 627 | [[folder:Kyrie]] |
| 628 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dmc4_kyrie.png]] |
| 629 | |
| 630 | Credo's younger sister and Nero's girlfriend. Like Nero, she joins Fairy Tail after the events of the Infinity Clock. [[spoiler:Kyrie is the wielder of the extremely powerful Lost Magic: Arc of Seraph.]] |
| 631 | ---- |
| 632 | * AdaptationalBadass: Zigzagged but still present. Here she has healing powers that, according to WordOfGod, are from a special kind of magic. [[spoiler:In chapter 16 ''A New Devil Awakens'': it is revealed that her Magic is one of the Lost Magics, and among the first Magics wielded by mankind: Arc of Seraph]]. |
| 633 | * AdaptationalExpansion: In ''[=DMC4=]'' she was mostly a DamselInDistress and only had a voice cameo in ''[=DMC5=]''. [[spoiler:Here she helps Nero find out what the Order is really planning, and has magic powers called the Arc of Seraph.]] |
| 634 | * BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler:Her Arc of Seraph has protective and healing powers including her own personal DeflectorShield made out of HardLight shaped as diamond-like construct called Sanctuary]]. |
| 635 | * BiblicalMotifs: Fitting for her MythicalMotifs below with angels her spells are based on these too. |
| 636 | ** [[DeflectorShields Sanctuary, a spell that takes shape of the glowing and diamond-like construct acting as barrier]]. |
| 637 | ** [[HandBlast Golden Shine]] takes the form of [[StarPower stars]]. |
| 638 | ** [[ShapingYourAttacks Holy Beast of Jonah, a mass of white energy takes the shape]] of [[ThreateningShark enormous shark-like creature]]. |
| 639 | * BirdsOfAFeather: She has this with Lucy, Wendy, and Lisanna. All of them are {{all loving heroine}}s and are close with their group. |
| 640 | ** Lucy: Both are smart and compassionate people that wear light clothing. [[spoiler:They also use light-related powers, with Lucy's Celestial Magic being related to the stars, and Kyrie's Arc of Seraph dubbed the Magic of Angels. They also tragically lost loved ones to Sanctus (Lucy's father Jude and Kyrie's brother Credo.]] When Kyrie joins Fairy Tail, she has the emblem placed on her hand like Lucy. |
| 641 | ** Lisanna: Both of them have a ChildhoodFriendRomance with a main protagonist (Natsu and Nero, both of whom [[spoiler:are descended from powerful beings,]]) while also raising an Exceed from an egg (Happy and Samuel). |
| 642 | ** Wendy: Both use [[spoiler:healing magic that is also from lost magic to help their comrades]], as well as raised Exceeds (Samuel and Carla). And [[spoiler:when Credo dies]], it's similar to how Wendy lost most of her former members of Cait Shelter and decided to join Fairy Tail shortly afterward. |
| 643 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: The reason why Mary Hughes is jealous of Nero is because he's in a relationship with Kyrie. |
| 644 | * HealingHands: She possesses the Magic to heal, [[spoiler:it's later revealed to be Arc of Seraph and it's why both [[ArcVillain Sanctus and Midnight]] want her to be part of the Savior, so the Celestial Wizard and descendant of Sparda alive within its cores will remain alive, so that it can be used never ending]]. |
| 645 | * KindHeartedCatLover: Alongside Nero, they raised [[InsufferableGenius Samuel]], who even lets her call him Sammy, even saying she is his favorite. |
| 646 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: She is the light to Nero's darkness. She usually wears a [[GoldandWhiteAreDivine white dress with gold accents]], while Nero wears darker clothing including [[BadassLongcoat dark blue jacket]]. Both also have contrasting MythicalMotifs relating to [[FemaleAngelMaleDemon angels and demons respectively]] with Kyrie wielding [[spoiler:the Arc of Seraph which is referred to as [[WhiteMagic the divine magic of angels]] and Nero possessing demonic powers from being an artificial son of Sparda]]. |
| 647 | * LightIsGood: Her main clothing is white with golden accents, [[spoiler:and her magic power, Arc of Seraph, has a pure white color]], and when she joins Fairy Tail, she gets a white guild mark. |
| 648 | * LovedByAll: She is a kind, gentle person that makes everyone glad to have her as a friend. They include: |
| 649 | ** Her [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold rebellious]] and [[SirSwearsALot foulmouthed]] boyfriend Nero acts far more compassionate to her, and when he sees Lucy cry it reminds him how bad he feels when Kyrie cries. |
| 650 | ** Her big brother Credo, who acts stern most of the time but has a soft spot for her. |
| 651 | ** Mary Hughes, who is a petty bully, has feelings for her and doesn't like her being Nero's girlfriend. |
| 652 | ** Samuel, who has no problem when she calls him Sammy, despite most of the time he prefers to be called Samuel. |
| 653 | ** Even Porlyusica, who’s known for not having a high opinion of humans, finds her tolerable. |
| 654 | * TheMedic: She read and studied Magic to heal her friends [[spoiler:and it turns out to be a Lost Magic called Arc of Seraph]]. |
| 655 | * MythicalMotifs: Angels. She's a kind and caring [[GoodWearsWhite person that wears white]], she also has an AngelicBeauty appearance, [[spoiler:and she wields an ancient Lost Magic called Arc of Seraph that's also revered as the magic of the angels making it also a PersonalityPowers as well]]. |
| 656 | * NiceGirl: Stands out as one of the nicest characters in the story, being warm and polite to everyone she talks to. As such, nearly everyone who knows her has nothing but nice things to say. |
| 657 | * PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:When her Arc of Seraph is activated, she gains a pair of massive angelic wings made from pure white magic.]] |
| 658 | * ShoutOut: WordOfGod is that Kyrie's [[WhiteMagic Arc of Seraph]] is based on [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Orihime's Shun Shun Rikka]] and [[Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins Elizabeth's Goddess Clan magic]]. |
| 659 | ** Can also be seen as ActorAllusion for the former, as Kyrie and Orihime have both been voiced by Creator/StephanieSheh. |
| 660 | * SwordAndSorcerer: She is the sorcerer to Nero's sword. Her [[spoiler:[[WhiteMagic Arc of Seraph magic]] can be used for [[CombatMedic healing]] and [[HardLight creating solid white light]] for shields and long range projectiles]], while [[TheBigGuy Nero is a physical powerhouse who uses close up attacks]] along with [[SwordAndGun Red Queen and Blue Rose]]. |
| 661 | * WhiteMagic: [[spoiler:Her Arc of Seraph magic not only heals and restores, but it is sacred and divine magic in its purest form.]] |

| 664 | !!Other Guild Members |
| 665 | [[folder:Makarov Dreyar]] |
| 666 | [[quoteright:264:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makarov_dreyar.png]] |
| 667 | |
| 668 | The [[spoiler:(former)]] Guild Master of Fairy Tail and the third (currently tenth)-ranked Wizard Saint. |
| 669 | ---- |
| 670 | * AdaptationalBadass: While in canon he was ranked fifth amongst the 10 Wizard Saints, and was stated to have dropped a few ranks after the time skip, here he is ranked '''third''', and retains that position even after seven years have passed, implying that the others were unable to surpass him in that time. The only ones ranked above him are [[WorldsStrongestMan God]] [[SmugSuper Serena]] and [[WorldsStrongestWoman Kurenai]]. Subverted come ''Origins'', though, when Bruni explains that his ranking has indeed changed since the time skip... to ''dead-last''. |
| 671 | * AnythingButThat: In "Turbulent Showdown! Dante vs Laxus!", his reaction to Dante fighting his grandson Laxus is "THEY'RE DOING WHAT?!", followed by "No... please god no... Not those two... Anybody but those two...!" as he falls on his hands and knees with comic fear at what could result. He later stopped both Dante and Laxus from continuing to fight with their respective [[SuperMode power-up forms]] angrily noting they could destroy Magnolia. |
| 672 | * BattleAura: His magic aura is golden yellow. |
| 673 | * BigDamnHeroes: In the Devil Hand Arc, while Dante, Natsu, Gray, Happy, Lucy, Ezra, Juvia, Lisanna, Mira, Elfman, Modeus, Trish, Lady, Wendy, Carla, Panther Lily, and Gajeel defeated Devil Hand's elite the Seven Sins, and other members alongside Blue Pegasus as well Lamia Scale stopped the invading demon hordes, and Natsu Dante Carla and [[EnemyMine Vergil]] stopped Arkham as well as Lady killing [[ArcVillain Arkham]], it was Makarov who ends up destroying Temen-ni-gru for good with [[HolyHandGrenade Fairy Law]]. |
| 674 | * DirtyOldMan: Yup, like in canon. |
| 675 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: He was able to intimidate Vergil, TheDreaded OneManArmy half-demon, with just a magic pulse a DeathGlare alone with Vergil slightly backing off, admitting that, even at full power, he might not win against the Fairy Tail guild master. |
| 676 | * TheMentor: Acts as this to Cana, teaching her how to use [[LightEmUp Fairy Glitter]] both to hone her use, and as part of her punishment for deserting Lucy, with her being unable to do jobs for the three-month training period. |
| 677 | * OldMaster: He may be a senior citizen, but Makarov is still an immensely powerful wizard. When he exerts his authority, even Dante and Natsu listen to him. [[spoiler:Vergil himself didn't favor his chances in taking the Master of Fairy Tail on.]] |
| 678 | * PapaWolf: Makarov considers every member of Fairy Tail as his children and when someone is foolish enough to hurt them on his watch, they're gonna get it. |
| 679 | ** When Vergil kidnaps and beats many of the members, although he's [[TranquilFury calm and keeps himself under control, under the surface, he is waiting to lash out at the one responsible]]. Although when he encounters Vergil at the end of the Devil Hand Arc, he offers to let him join Fairy Tail and he declined, he gives the half-demon advice. He then gives a warning that if he ever harms his children, he won't hesitate to obliterate him, a threat that [[HorrifyingTheHorror actually caused Vergil to back away]]. |
| 680 | ** In Devil Hand arc: When the titular dark guild goes after Lisanna, Makarov is understandably worried, even more, when Lisanna decides to go after them, but she convinces him to let her go. When Levhatha/Sheeree, a member of the Seven Deadly Sins is revealed to be a former member of Cait Shelter that's not an illusion and targeting Wendy, he told the Sky Dragon Slayer to stay in Magnolia as it is bad enough that one of his children is already a target, and he won't allow it to happen to another one. |
| 681 | *** In the same arc ''Dawn of Light'', he alongside his strongest Fairy Tail member Gildarts, and fellow Wizard Saint Jura saved exhausted members of Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, and Blue Pegasus. He tells the demons that their fight is with the three of them, and he [[BadassBoast promises that not a single one will make it out alive]], which was proven true when the three wizards [[CurbStompBattle overpowered the army of demons by themselves]]. |
| 682 | ** After hearing everything that Arkham has done, not just to his own [[FamilyOfChoice children]] but his exploitation of Sheeree/Leviatha and Adrian, he assures Lady [[spoiler:she was perfectly justified in killing him, saying he would have done so himself if he had ever met him face to face.]] |
| 683 | ** During the Tenrou Island arc, when encountering his old guild master Precht, now [[ArcVillain Master]] [[TheArchmage Hades]] the latter mentions he's interested in meeting Dante. While he knows the man can handle himself, he still fiercely states Hades will have to get through him to lay a finger on Dante. |
| 684 | ** When Zancrow [[AttemptedRape attempted to molest]] Wendy and Lisanna and make Natsu [[ForcedToWatch watch it all]], Makarov quickly grabs him with his giant hand and squeezes the insane God Slayer, all while telling him with a DeathGlare how he dares he tries to violate his children in front of him. When Zancrow attempt to kill the Guild Master, he refuses to let go, willing to lose his hand if it ensures the maniac's death. |
| 685 | * ParentalSubstitute: Being the guild master, he acts as this to many of the members, even calling them his children. |
| 686 | ** While they don't interact too much, Dante sees him as a second father [[spoiler:and is one of the first to go back to help him fight Acnologia]]. |
| 687 | ** Lady eventually comes to see him as this as well, confiding in him about her DarkAndTroubledPast, and hugging him with tears in her eyes after he comforts her ([[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments while threatening to kill him if he touches her ass]]). In the Tenrou Island arc, she is greatly worried for him upon seeing how injured he is. |
| 688 | * RetiredBadass: He officially retires after making Gildarts the new guild master following the Order of the Sword arc, with Gildarts staying on instead of leaving like in canon. |

| 691 | [[folder:Mirajane Strauss]] |
| 692 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mirajane_2014.png]] |
| 693 | |
| 694 | Elfman and Lisanna's older sister, her Magic is "Satan Soul", a type of Take Over which allows her to utilize the power of demons. |
| 695 | ---- |
| 696 | * TheAce: Mira is among Fairy Tail's best wizards rivaling fellow S-Class wizard Erza on an equal level. |
| 697 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: Although her Satan Soul is powerful, and is even nicknamed the She-Devil, according to Vergil she lacks the power of a true Devil, which is proven true as Vergil's [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] outmatches her Satan Soul rather [[CurbStompBattle easily]]. |
| 698 | ** In the Devil Hand arc, she and her brother encounter the Wendigo Soul which both siblings are rather intimidated by, with Mira noting that her Satan Soul (which has the powers and abilities of various demons) looks like Peter Pan compared to the cursed Wendigo. |
| 699 | ** In the Tenrou Island arc, she fought against [[TheAce Dante]] and [[ActionGirl Lady]], two skilled Devil Hunters pretty well, but Mira admits that Dante's [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] can easily overpower her, with Lady herself agreeing that he could flatten her in seconds if he used it, only for Dante stating that he doesn't want to be too dependent on it. |
| 700 | * BattleAura: Her magic aura is purple. |
| 701 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Although she isn't the same violent bully as in her youth, she's still known as She-Devil through both her strength and popularity. |
| 702 | ** In the Devil Hand arc when Lady faces [[AbusiveParent Arkham]], she quickly stood up and protected her (despite being somewhat creeped out by him early and finding out that he is Lady's father) and warned him, which Arkham knows pretty well that he never could beat the mighty She-Devil (as he already had [[PowerCopying Sheeree/Leviatha,]] [[TheBrute Satan]], [[EnemySummoner Belphegor]] and [[DarkActionGirl Asmodeua]] to battle her and Lady). |
| 703 | * BigSisterInstinct: She's always been extremely protective of her younger brother and sister ever since they lost their parents, with Elfman saying that he always admired that part of her. |
| 704 | ** In ''Satan Soul vs Devil Trigger'' When Vergil beats Elfman, Mira quickly challenges him with a DeathGlare and tells him she will not allow him to hurt her brother, [[LetsGetDangerous transforming into her Satan Soul]]. [[NegatedmomentOfAwesome Too bad Vergil beat her too]]. |
| 705 | ** In the Devil Hand arc, she shows this instinct again in several chapters. |
| 706 | *** In ''Dragon Soul'', when she heard that Lisanna is a target of the new dark guild called Devil Hand, one filled with demons, she along with Elfman are worried sick for her despite her assuring that she is okay. When she decides to join Natsu and his team to escort a prisoner that happened to be a target too, both the older siblings are worried about it; however compared to Elfman (GentleGiant), Mira is willing to fight her younger sister, proving that her [[{{Animorphism}} Animal Souls]] are outmatched compared to her Satan Soul, and even gives her a ReasonYouSuckSpeech that she is not ready for this and will be more in the way than helpful. But then Lisanna unleashes her [[TookALevelInBadass Dragon Soul]] and gives her a better fight, ending with Mira gladly deciding to let her go. But when she questions Natsu how she got that new Takeover he tells her (alongside her brother Elfman, Makarov, Happy, Ezra, Gildarts, and Dante) how she got her Dragon Soul after almost being killed too she is completely happy and grateful for Natsu saving her little sister and hugs him (along with her younger but bigger brother Elfman almost squeezing them both) and tells her younger sister to be careful. |
| 707 | *** In ''Rise! Temen-ni-gru'' even when she is at the mercy of the Seven Sins and terrified of [[TheDreaded Vergil]], when [[DepravedBisexual Asmodeua]] comments on hoping to see her little sister she [[DeathGlare glared daggers]] at the woman not liking how she spoke of Lisanna. |
| 708 | *** In ''Sins Born of Sorrow'' when Beelzebub in his Wendigo Soul Takeover overpowers and almost kills Elfman, she quickly frees herself and saves him just in time urgently asking him if he is okay (with him saying he is not) and when Beelzebub got up Mira told her brother that she'll take over from here and fought the Wendigo by herself, but it overpowered her too. Elfman comes to help just in time, and when she used her Soul Extinction on Beelzebub she quickly came to her injured brother hugging him while he cried. |
| 709 | *** In ''Let's Welcome Chaos'' she carries an injured Elfman, telling him to take it easy and be careful till his injuries are looked at, with Elfman rolling his eyes with a slight smile, finding Mira being overprotective makes her the best older sister there is but she hoped that Lisanna is all right (since she came Temen-ni-gru to stop Vergil and save Mira to). Despite Elfman saying that she will be okay she just can't help it if something bad happened to her again she won't ever forgive herself. |
| 710 | *** In ''Ascension to Hell'' when she makes telepathic contact with the guild, her first response is asking if her sister is okay and is relieved to hear that Lisanna is okay along with Elfman again. |
| 711 | ** In the Tenrou Island arc, when the AxeCrazy [[LightEmUp Holy]] [[DemonSlaying Devil Slayer]] [[BadassPreacher Job]] almost kills Lisanna, Mira quickly stopped him and protectively stood in front of her youngest sibling while giving him a DeathGlare. |
| 712 | --->'''Mira:''' Don't you ever threaten my little sister! |
| 713 | ** In the Order of the Sword arc, the thing that makes her hit her RageBreakingPoint is [[{{Sadist}} Mary Hughes]] using her powers to badly injure her friends and her brother Elfman, prompting a ''vicious'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. She then proceeds to [[LetsGetDangerous break out her Satan Soul: Halphas]], and delivers one of [[CurbStompBattle the most one-sided beatdowns in the story]]. |
| 714 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Despite her Take Over using demons, she stands out as one of [[NiceGirl the nicest members of Fairy Tail]]. |
| 715 | * FighterMageThief: Of her siblings [[VoluntaryShapeShifting Take Over's]], hers best fit role of the wizard, her [[OneWingedAngel Satan Soul]] gives her variety of powers and darkness based attacks. Given the physical boost, she also has shades of fighter as well. |
| 716 | * TheMentor: She becomes this to Lady in order to help her [[spoiler:to control and harness her Devil Slayer Magic so that she can use it more effectively.]] |
| 717 | * MyGreatestFailure: Lisanna's (apparent) death is this for her, something she shares with Elfman, deeply regretting how she failed to protect her sister. Thankfully, Natsu and later Lisanna herself are able to talk her out of it. |
| 718 | ** Gets another one in the Devil Hand arc, [[spoiler:after Adrian/Beelzebub pulls a HeroicSacrifice. She tearfully admits she was unable to save a poor boy in immense pain.]] |
| 719 | * MythicalMotifs: Demons, being nicknamed [[RedBaron the She-Devil of Fairy Tail]], with her primary Take-Over being Satan Soul, that comes with plenty of [[CastingAShadow darkness-based spells]]. Used to be a case of PersonalityPowers given her attitude as a bully, but she has since mellowed into [[BewareTheNiceOnes a kind, if scary]] CoolBigSis. |
| 720 | * NiceGirl: Is among the friendlier members of Fairy Tail, rarely engaging in the usual [[VitriolicBestBuds exchange of fights and insults of her guildmates]]. |
| 721 | * PurpleIsTheNewBlack: Mira wields [[CastingAShadow darkness powers]] and it's color [[PurpleIsPowerful dark purple]], matches the S-Class wizard. |
| 722 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the Devil Hand arc, it was revealed that Elfman, Lisanna, and her are distant relatives to Angel/Sorano and Yukino because they are descendants of one of two priestesses whom Sparda was forced to sacrifice to lock Temen-ni-gru]]. |
| 723 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: In ''Battle of the Femme Fatales'', she opts for a fanservice battle against Jenny instead of a conventional one, much to the cheers of the watchers ([[TheCasanova Dante]] especially). |

| 728 | |
| 729 | Mira's younger brother and Lisanna's older brother, his Magic is "Beast Soul", a type of Take Over which allows him to transform into or transform parts of his body into that of various monsters and ferocious beasts. |
| 730 | ---- |
| 731 | * AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler:In ''The Will of a Man'' he displays two Beast Souls he lacked in canon. [[BirdPeople Hawk-Man]], which gives him flight, talons, and increased speed, and Werebear, boosting his already impressive strength.]] |
| 732 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: While his [[OneWingedAngel Beast Soul]] is a physical powerhouse, Adrian/Beelzebub's Wendigo Soul proves even more dangerous and savage several times over. He was barely able to slow it down and would have become it's [[HorrorHunger next meal]] if not for [[BigSisterInstinct Mirajane saving him just in time]]. |
| 733 | * AndThisIsFor: [[spoiler:In the Grand Magic Games, he punches [[NobleDemon Vergil]] for previously recruiting Adrian (a child) into a Dark Guild. Even Vergil agrees it was deplorable and simply allows him to deliver said punch]]. |
| 734 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He is just as caring and protective of both of his sisters. |
| 735 | ** In the Vergil arc, he is looking for his kidnapped guildmates with Mira and making sure that Mira stays close to him (although Mira is his older sister and also one of the strongest members of the guild), and when Vergil beats him, Mira steps in to protect her brother, with Elfman telling her to get back worried for her and then Vergil beats his sister, he angrily demanded the half-demon to let her go, but to no avail. |
| 736 | ** In Devil Hand arc: |
| 737 | *** PlayedForLaughs first when Lisanna returns to Earthland and is about to take her first job coming back with Natsu (her ChildhoodFriendRomance), he declared that Natsu better not take away his sister's innocence. |
| 738 | *** But in the same arc, it became a lot for PlayedForDrama in the chapter ''Dragon Soul'' when the new Dark Guild called Devil Hand (a guild mostly made out of demons), one of the demons named [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Cragnar]] tried to kidnap Lisanna, he alongside Mira were deeply worried sick for her when Lisanna decide to join, he is the first to say "No way! Absolutely not!", but when Makarov decided he give her blessing, although wanted to protest, but he is still a GentleGiant compared what Mira got in store fight with Lisanna, with Elfman trying to stop his two sisters fighting. |
| 739 | *** ''Fallen Angel'', when Natsu tells them that Lisanna almost dies but Natsu saved her, he and Mira hear it and are grateful for what Natsu did, giving him a big hug (also giving ManlyTears) and saying he is a real man and when Lisanna still wanna come, Elfman makes an attempt to let him come to protect his sister and showing those demons a real man fist but she declines and letting him know she will be fine and make a promise that she will be careful. |
| 740 | *** ''Rise! Temen-ni-gru!'', when Mira is kidnapped by Arkham (whom he called "that creepy bald guy") he smashed a table in anger and wants a piece of him. When they hear Vergil may be affiliated with the Devil Hand, he's puzzled why they wanted his sisters, frustrated why Devil Hand was first after Lisanna then Mira, wanting to know why unmanly demons are after his sisters. Realizing Lisanna is with Natsu, Happy, and Lucy, he immediately goes to save his sisters (and friends), but Dante tells him that they are talking about Vergil, saying he'll eat him for breakfast (considering that he fought Vergil before and lost badly). Elfman doesn't care as his big sister is kidnapped, and he isn't about to lose his little sister (again) |
| 741 | *** ''Sinner's Advent'' he reunites with Lisanna and tells her that he was worried "those Devil Hand creeps" hurt her and when Lisanna heard they got Mira, Elfman reassures her that they're gonna get her back. When he learned the real reason they want his sisters' [[BloodMagic blood]] is because he, along with his sisters, are descendants of the priestess whom Sparda sacrificed to seal the tower, learning that Vergil used his sister's blood to do it, he angrily punched a rock to pieces and swears that Vergil will pay for that. |
| 742 | *** In the chapter ''Brotherly Rivals Evermore/Sins Born of Sorrow'': when Jester pointed out where Mira is, he immediately went in the direction to save her without Natsu, Gajeel, and Panther Lily because he failed to save Lisanna (when everyone thought she died). Natsu knows this because it hurts him alongside the Strauss siblings the most and even got ManlyTears showing Natsu understood that and let Elfman handle it. When he found his sister, he faces Beelzebub, the Sin of Gluttony that possesses the cursed "Take Over: Wendigo Soul". Elfman almost gotten killed if weren't for Mira freeing herself and helping her brother. When Wendigo overpowered even Mira in her Satan Soul, Elfman, although in bad shape, forced himself to hold the Wendigo so that Mira could use her "Soul Extinction" in an attempt to stop the Wendigo. Soon after that, Mira went to her injured younger brother while he cried, saying he is sorry that he couldn't protect her. |
| 743 | *** ''Dawn of Light'': When he along with his sisters and their guild, with Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus, are surrounded by the demons he told both his sisters and the rest of Fairy Tail that they're at least going down in the manliest way possible as a family and when Makarov destroys the tower and it collapses, he carries both his sisters away to safety despite his injuries. |
| 744 | ** ''The Will of a Man'', Elfman was already motivated when pitted against [[DrunkenMaster Bacchus]], a wizard who was described to be on [[TheAce Erza's]] level. But it was when the man made a bet to have both his sisters 'keep him company for a night' should Bacchus win that truly fueled Elfman to push his limits in order to win. |
| 745 | * TheBigGuy: Elfman is one of [[BadassCrew Fairy Tail's]] toughest fighters. This is thanks to the combination of his ('''MANLY''') size, strength, and toughness, and further reinforced by his [[VoluntaryShapeShifting Take Over: Beast Soul]], using ferocious monster forms to battle [[CloseRangeCombatant close up]] and personal (and '''MANLY'''). |
| 746 | * FighterMageThief: Compared to his sisters his [[VoluntaryShapeShifting Take Over's]], his [[WereBeast Beast Soul]] neatly fits the position of fighter, letting him turn even bigger and tougher creatures to fight enemies head-on. |
| 747 | * GeniusBruiser: Elfman might be a big, tough man who relies mainly on brute force, but he can use brains as well, displaying good tactical sense when cornered. He was able to defeat [[TheAce Bacchus]], the strongest member of Quatro Cerberus, and score the first win of Fairy Tail Team A, despite the power gap by switching to his [[StoneWall Lizardman Take Over]] and [[VictoryByEndurance outlasting his opponent]]. |
| 748 | * HeroesFightBarehanded: Fitting being manly TheBigGuy, Elfman primarily fights with his fists and [[WereBeast Take-Over Beast Soul]] for close-range combat. |
| 749 | * MaleMightFemaleFinesse: |
| 750 | ** He has this with Lisanna, as his Beast Souls are more powerful while Lisanna's Animal Souls are less powerful but more versatile. |
| 751 | *** Plus, her Cat Soul is faster than his. |
| 752 | ** He also has this with Evergreen, being a more imposing tough guy while Evergreen uses wings for speed and has Fairy Magic in power. |
| 753 | * MightyGlacier: While Elfman is quite faster than his appearance shows, he relies more on strength, leaving him vulnerable to enemies who are both LightningBruiser and StrongAndSkilled. |
| 754 | ** In his fight with Vergil, he tried to smash him, only for Vergil to easily dodge every attack and defeat him. |
| 755 | ** When he later fights Erza during the S-Class Trials, she lectures Elfman on relying too much on brute force, even saying that while useful, it's no good against a fast opponent. |
| 756 | * MultiformBalance: Like his sisters' respective Take Over, his [[PowersViaPossession Take Over: Beast Soul]] increases his physical prowess and gains various effects. |
| 757 | ** His primary Beast Soul is based on melee combat in both strength and toughness. |
| 758 | ** [[PowerGivesYouWings Hawkman]] gives him flight with increased speed. |
| 759 | ** Werebear increases his already impressive size and strength. |
| 760 | ** Lizardman is an MightyGlacier with the strong defense and endurance that actually hurts his ''opponent'' while he defends himself. |
| 761 | * MyGreatestFailure: Lisanna's (apparent) death is this, being haunted by the fact that losing control caused such a tragedy. Even after she returns he goes through a phase of borderline MyBelovedSmother. |
| 762 | ** In the Devil Hand arc, he is distraught [[spoiler:at Adrian/Beelzebub's HeroicSacrifice, made all the worse since he can painfully relate to the feeling of killing a loved one because of an out-of-control Take-Over]]. |
| 763 | * MythicalMotifs: Beasts and monsters, being the source of his Take-Overs. [[PersonalityPowers Quite fitting for a big, tough man like him]]. |
| 764 | * TheOneGuy: As Happy points out, Elfman is likely the only living male in his entire family line [[spoiler:since his only known living relatives other than his sisters are the two Agira sisters]]. |
| 765 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the Devil Hand arc, it was revealed that Mirajane, Lisanna, and him are distant relatives to Angel/Sorano and Yukino because they are descendants of one of two priestesses whom Sparda was forced to sacrifice to lock Temen-ni-gru]]. |

| 771 | Black Steel Gajeel the Iron Dragon Slayer and former member of Phantom Lord. |
| 772 | ---- |
| 773 | * BattleAura: His magic aura is green. |
| 774 | * TheBigGuy: Gajeel is among the most savage and toughest fighters in the guild, on top of [[BloodKnight greatly enjoying any chance to scrap]]. |
| 775 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Has a dark colour scheme, his Iron Dragon Slayer magic manifests dark looking weapons, and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold (attitude aside)]] is a loyal member of Fairy Tail. [[spoiler:Becomes more prominent after gaining access to Rogue's Shadow Dragon Slayer magic]]. |
| 776 | * {{Foil}}: With Lady. Both are tough, strong-willed, and foul-mouthed, while also having dark hair and black Fairy Tail emblems, and use weapons. While Gajeel's weapons come from his body with his magic, Lady carries her weapons around with her. Gajeel's hair is long while Lady prefers her hair to be short. And while Gajeel uses magic, Lady is a BadassNormal [[spoiler:until gaining Steel Devil Slayer magic, giving her something in common with Gajeel]]. |
| 777 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: He was the body, courtesy of [[TheBrute Satan]] in the Devil Hand arc. |
| 778 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:How he finishes off Agnus in the Order of the Sword arc, using his Iron Dragon Sword.]] |
| 779 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is easily one of the guilds most abrasive members, his interactions with the others being strained even by [[VitriolicBestBuds Fairy Tail standards]]. Yet he's always one of the first to volunteer to help out in a crisis, never hesitates to take the bullet for a teammate, and is quite friendly to anyone he considers a good friend, something that helps ease up everyone's attitude to him. |
| 780 | * LightningBruiser: Comes with the territory as a Dragon Slayer. He's strong enough to push back a powerful demon like Phantom, fast enough to keep up with Vergil (however briefly), and his Iron Scales puts him ahead of even his fellow Dragon Slayers in terms of durability, taking a prolonged beating from a powered up [[TheBrute Satan]]. |
| 781 | * MetallicMotifs: Iron, duh. Doubles as PersonalityPowers, since he's a strong-willed, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold rough individual, who slowly warms up to those around him]]. |
| 782 | * MythicalMotifs: Like all Dragon-Slayers, [[CaptainObvious dragons]], his being an [[ExtraOreDinary and Iron Dragon]], Metallicana. |
| 783 | * TaughtByExperience: His longtime camaraderie with Juvia lets him quickly identify the NecessaryDrawback of Rogue's ElementalShapeshifter abilities, namely that he needs to be at least ''partially'' tangible in order to land attacks. |
| 784 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:During his fight with Rogue/Legion during the Grand Magic Games' Battle Royale, Gajeel, finding himself in a tough spot, eats and absorbs some of Rogue's Shadow Dragon Slayer magic, allowing him to obtain Iron Shadow Dragon Mode.]] |
| 785 | * TrainingFromHell: During the three month gap for the Grand Magic Games, he had Nero repeatedly beat and chip away his Iron Dragon Scales with [[spoiler:Gilgamesh and Masayoshi respectively]] to grow stronger ones in their place. |
| 786 | * VictoryByEndurance: In the Devil Hand arc when he fights Satan, TheBrute of the Seven Sins, he realizes that his powers come from more violence, he uses his Iron Dragon Scales acting as a StoneWall to defeat him and succeed. |
| 787 | * VillainKiller: [[spoiler:Killed Phantom in the Vergil arc, demonized Yomazu through Lady's combination breath attack, Echidna and Agnus in the Order of the Sword arc.]] |

| 791 | [[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juvia_lockser.png]] |
| 792 | |
| 793 | A former member of Phantom Lord's Element Four who later joined Fairy Tail. She has a massive crush on her beloved Gray. |
| 794 | ---- |
| 795 | * AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed, but she gets a lot more moments to show off her competence in fights, and more consistently uses her entire arsenal of abilities, only being outmatched by particularly powerful and/or clever opponents like Vergil and Mammon. What's more, she frequently displays [[SmarterThanYouLook great perceptive skills]] in the sequel, being the first to figure out the puzzle for the Infinity Clock piece and deducing the Angelo soldiers [[AchillesHeel weak spot]]. All of this, plus the fact that [[LetsGetDangerous willing to tone down her obsession with Gray in serious situations]] makes it clear why she was an S-Class wizard in Phantom Lord. |
| 796 | ** Thanks to training with Natsu, she learns several new spells, including one that takes the form of a water dragon. She also learns how to harness and control her anger in battle, giving her better control over her Sierra technique. |
| 797 | ** The most prominent display of her skills comes during the Battle Royale in the Grand Magic Games, where she faces [[spoiler:Sting]] in the final fight, and not only manages to hold her own against him, but eventually wins. |
| 798 | * BattleAura: Her magic aura is blue. |
| 799 | * CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Her fight against Sting ends up being with this, as Juvia had the upper-hand against Sting throughout the entire battle, with the former completely outmatching the latter in both hand-to-hand combat and magic, even when her opponent was using [[SuperMode Dragon Force]], and successfully defeating him with barely a scratch on her.]] |
| 800 | * KungFuWizard: [[spoiler:Throughout three months of training, especially with Natsu, her hand-to-hand combat skills have greatly improved to the point she was able to [[CurbStompBattle completely overpower]] Sting in both close-range fight and magic during the final fight of the X791 Grand Magic Games.]] |
| 801 | * MagicEnhancement: Sierra, a spell that is tied to Juvia's emotions which allows her to increase her strength and speed, steam evaporate from her body, and in addition her water becoming scorching hot. [[spoiler:Throughout three months of training, thanks to her friends' advice, especially from Natsu, she was able to learn to control and harness her anger, thus successfully obtaining complete control over Sierra.]] |
| 802 | * PlatonicLifePartners: While there's not as much focus on the two, she and Gajeel are close friends from their time in Phantom Lord, with Makarov offering to let him join Fairy Tail at her request. In ''Devil's Retribution,'' they both visit their old colleague Totomaru, happy to catch up. |
| 803 | * ShutUpHannibal: She gives this to Mammon in the Devil Hand arc when Mammon uses Gray's guilt and feelings for Ur and Deliora, saying that he is just as greedy and almost kills Gray, Juvia quickly protects him and says this. |
| 804 | --> '''Juvia:''' ''[to Mammon]'' You don't know anything about Gray! Greed is only a selfish desire, everything he does is solely for the sake of others! He'd even throw his own life in jeopardy if it means he's protecting those he loves! That's who he is! Gray Fullbuster is the most selfless person I have ever met and I'll be damned if you ever say otherwise! '''[[MakingASplash WATER NEBULA]]!''' |
| 805 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler:Gets this by Sting as he dismissed her of being a simple water wizard. She quickly shattered his confidence by completely outmatch him in the fight and eventually wins against the White Dragon Slayer with barely a scratch on her.]] |
| 806 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Minus the "Girlfriend" part, but she ''will'' put down anyone who threatens Gray in any way. |

| 813 | ---- |
| 814 | * EatingTheEyeCandy: She ends up staring at Gajeel's abs at one point. |
| 815 | * MsExposition |
| 816 | * RousingSpeech: In the ''Devil Hand arc'' when Fairy Tail battled the demon army she glances at the ominous tower named Temen-ni-gru knowing that not only their friends are in it, but also the Devil Hand heavy hitters as well as Vergil, Dante's brother (which she knows how dangerous he is), but also heard about Lady's father Arkham that part to feeling real tragically that their families how divided there are, but decided there is no time for it now and tells her fellow guildmates this. |
| 817 | --> "We don't have time to worry about that right now. Dante, Natsu, and everyone else are working their hardest to try and stop Devil Hand, we should be doing the same! We're all members of Fairy Tail just like they are; no matter how many of these monsters stand in my way, there's no way I'm going to let them keep me from helping my friends!" |

| 824 | ---- |
| 825 | * TheAlcoholic / HardDrinkingPartyGirl: This is Cana we’re talking about. |
| 826 | * AdaptationalBadass: She retains the use of Fairy Glitter rather than it being a one-off spell, albeit she needs training to use it properly. [[spoiler:By the time of the Grand Magic Games, she can apparently cast it at will]]. |
| 827 | * AdaptationalKarma: In canon when she betrayed Lucy, she just got a slap on her wrist. Here, Trish isn't as forgiving (which she makes a clear couple of times like not being worried for her safety, punching her in the face, and just insulting her) and Makarov is disappointed in her, putting her on three months' probation (but also training her with Fairy Glitter). |
| 828 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: Uses 'Jackpot' in 72nd chapter: ''Fairy Glitter and the Tenrou Tree''. |
| 829 | * InstantExpert: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. While she received [[LightEmUp Fairy Glitter]], her magic is insufficient to cast it properly, doing more damage to herself than her opponent. It's for this reason that Makarov decides to train her. |

| 834 | |
| 835 | Fairy Tail's strongest wizard and Cana's father. At the start of the Grand Magic Games arc, he becomes the 5th Guild Master of Fairy Tail. |
| 836 | ---- |
| 837 | * TheAce: Stands on the top as [[BadassCrew Fairy Tail's]] strongest member, even outclassing fellow S-Class wizards [[LadyOfWar Erza]], [[BewareTheNiceOnes Mirajane]], and [[ShockAndAwe Laxus]], which speaks volumes of his power. |
| 838 | * AdaptationExpansion: Instead of taking off, he decides to become the new Guild Master of Fairy Tail at the start of the Grand Magic Games arc. |
| 839 | * BattleAura: His magic aura is white. |
| 840 | * BigDamnHeroes: He, along with his master and Jura, helps his fellow guildmates, Lamia Scale, and Blue Pegasus, against the hordes of demons at the last second and, along with Makarov and Jura, destroy every single one without breaking a sweat. |
| 841 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even though Gildarts is very known to be a womanizer (having been with thirteen women since leaving his ex-wife), he was angered when Bacchus made a bet to spend a night with Mira and Lisanna, even stating that he ''will'' pound him into the ground if he'll actually tries to do that. |
| 842 | * TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: While some of the newer members are skeptical of him being the strongest member of Fairy Tail, Modeus is able to sense his magic power and comments it is among the most powerful he's ever encountered. Considering this is coming from a demon [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld who is over 2000 years old]], that is very high praise. |
| 843 | * LightningBruiser: Is considered the strongest member of Fairy Tail, and has exactly the kind of physical prowess that implies, dwarfing the likes of fellow LightningBruiser Natsu. Best showcased by him clashing evenly with Bluenote Stinger, when most people struggle to ''stand'' in his gravity field. |
| 844 | * PapaWolf: Like Makarov, he is this towards younger members of Fairy Tail. When Grimore Heart invaded Tenrou Island and ruined the S-Class promotion Trails, he is beyond pissed that they interrupted something important for the younger members, giving [[DeathGlare a glare that could even gave demons a heart attack]] and took on [[GravityMaster Bluenote Stinger]]. |
| 845 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: When [[OldMaster Makarov retires]], Gildarts' new position as the Guild Master fits this perfectly. |
| 846 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Is more perceptive than his initial appearance would suggest, being the first person to deduce Natsu has a TraumaButton related to [[TheDreaded Vergil]], and providing the young Dragon-Slayer with sound advice on how to handle his fear. |

| 864 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Dante and even Trish admit that Laxus' lightning is stronger than the latter's. |
| 865 | * BattleAura: His magic is electric yellow in color. |
| 866 | * TheBigGuy: Is physically quite imposing, has powerful magic, and naturally serves as a heavy hitter for whatever team he's a part of. |
| 867 | * HolyHandGrenade: [[spoiler:He tried to use Fairy Law against the Savior, but the artificial demon [[NoSell didn't receive any damage at all]], much to his horror]]. |

| 885 | * UndyingLoyalty: They're immensely loyal to their leader Laxus and won't tolerate anyone badmouthing him (like Vergil and Rustyrose). They were beyond relieved to see him again on Tenrou Island and even more so when he becomes a member of Fairy Tail again. |

| 888 | The current leader of the Thunder Legion, and one of Fairy Tail's most loyal and level-headed members. |

| 891 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: The leader of the Thunder Legion, and has the most powerful and flexible magic. Him being defeated by Vergil [[TheWorfEffect is treated as a big deal]]. |

| 894 | A puppet mage who wears a full suit of armor. Eccentric, but nonetheless very loyal to the guild. |

What's more, he was able to take control of the [[AnimatedArmor Alto Angelo]], signified by its glow changing from [[RedIsViolent red]] to green. |
| 897 | * BadassBoast Promises to show Mary Hughes what a ''real'' puppet master can do. |
| 898 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Wears dark and macabre clothing, his magic involves controlling various objects through spirits, on top of his MagicalEye inflicting PeoplePuppets on anyone who shares eye contact. He's also a part of the team that is among Fairy Tails most fervent defenders. |
| 899 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can come across as rather flippant and mocking to even his fellow Thunder Legion members, much less the rest of Fairy Tail, but is a reliable ally to whomever he fights beside against, and has no bones expressing worry for their wellbeing. |
| 900 | * PeoplePuppets: Downplayed in that he doesn't use humans for puppets, but rather several spirits that inhabit artificial bodies. |
