| 36 | |
| 37 | A guild that rises through the ranks and dethrones Fairy Tail as the strongest guild in all of Fiore during the former guild's seven-year disappearance through raw magical power over camaraderie. Fairy Tail, [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin naturally]], reclaims their title in the [[TournamentArc Grand Magic Games]], giving Saber Tooth a much-needed lesson in ThePowerOfFriendship. |
| 38 | ---- |
| 39 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 40 | |
| 41 | [[folder:Saber Tooth in General]] |
| 42 | * AdaptationExpansion: The anime shows Olga and Rufus befriend and work with Jura and Gray, respectively, during the Dragon King Festival, showing their change of heart. |
| 43 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: They're not outright evil since they take down dark guilds, but they go to the same measures as other villains in the series do just to maintain their reputation. They eventually vow to better themselves once Fairy Tail proves to them (the hard way) that there's more to a guild than brute strength. |
| 44 | * AnimalMotifs: Sabertooth tigers, with their [[SmugSuper haughty attitude]] and Social Darwinism reflecting the beasts being solitary hunters. They shift to a more pack-like mentality after their HumblePie moment. |
| 45 | * TheAtoner: Under Sting's leadership, the guild reforms from their villainous ways and spreads good like Fairy Tail. |
| 46 | * BadassBoast: Almost every one of them makes at least one, with varying degrees of arrogance, at one point or another. Quickly brought crashing down to earth by the end of the [[TournamentArc Grand Magic Games.]] |
| 47 | * BadassCrew: Even when their SmugSuper was at it's worst, their confidence in their abilities was quite justified, having won the Grand Magic Games several years in a row thanks to the numerous SuperpowerLottery winners amongst their members. Mellowing out hasn't diminished their effectiveness at all. |
| 48 | * BreakTheHaughty: The entire [[Recap/FairyTailGrandMagicGamesArc Grand Magic Games arc]] is this for them. Though on the first day they proceed to dominate all the events they participate in, on the second day they get no points, with Sting getting stuck on a vehicle-themed challenge, and Yukino being soundly defeated by Kagura. Then, on the third day, though Rufus manages to defeat Eve without issue, Orga gets thoroughly shown up by both Erza and Cana. Then, come the fourth day, despite Minerva carrying the initial challenge for Saber Tooth, both Sting and Rogue are quickly overpowered by Natsu and Gajeel (and later just Natsu). Fortunately, after losing in the final challenge, they take these losses to heart, and decide to better themselves. |
| 49 | * BullyingADragon: To a ridiculous extent. Whether it's Sting assuming he can beat Natsu despite seeing his strength and determination first-hand, Orga deciding that the best course of action would be to attack [[WorldsStrongestMan one of the Ten Wizard Saints]] head-on despite having seen this man hit a target with over ''twice'' his own magic power just days prior, or Minerva kidnapping and torturing a mutual friend of her opponents despite knowing (and exploiting) the fact that the series runs on ThePowerOfFriendship, they never seem to learn until they're eventually defeated ([[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope with the exception of Minerva, who just gets worse]]). Unfortunately, these attempts backfire on them. |
| 50 | * CrucifiedHeroShot: They suffer this along with Blue Pegasus at the hands of Bloodman during the Alvarez Empire's invasion. |
| 51 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' story from SpinOff manga ''Fairy Tail Gaiden'' focuses on the life of Saber Tooth after Sting reformed them. |
| 52 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Saber Tooth initially dethrones Fairy Tail as the strongest guild of Fiore, but its members have rules that govern them to the point where Minerva regards Ziemma's tenure as guild master as a "reign of terror". Sure enough, by the end of the Grand Magic Games, they decide to better themselves and spread good under Sting's leadership. |
| 53 | * EvilCounterpart: During the [[Recap/FairyTailGrandMagicGamesArc Grand Magic Games arc]], the Saber Tooth guild was the team to beat as they had many parallels (three Slayer-type wizards, a Maker wizard, and a Celestial Wizard) and were all complete jerks before getting their asses handed to them by Fairy Tail. By the conclusion of the Games, Ziemma is taken down by Sting, who takes over as leader of the guild and everyone but Minerva pulls a HeelFaceTurn. Minerva does it in the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]]. |
| 54 | * GuestStarPartyMember: In ''100 Years Quest'', they (Sting, Rogue, Lector, Frosch, Yukino, and Minerva) accompany Fairy Tail and get involved in the events during the Gold Owl arc. |
| 55 | * HateSink: After Raven Tail is disbarred from the Grand Magic Games, Saber Tooth fully takes on the role of the guild meant to be rooted against. They get better after the Grand Magic Games. |
| 56 | * HeelFaceTurn: |
| 57 | ** The entire guild reforms from their jerkish ways after receiving [[HumblePie a serious lesson in humility]] when they lose the tournament and Sting succeeds Ziemma as their guild master. |
| 58 | ** At the conclusion of the Battle of Tartaros, Minerva puts her DarkAndTroubledPast behind her and returns to the guild for good. |
| 59 | * HumblePie: The guild members are deeply affected by their loss against Fairy Tail in the Grand Magic Games, as they realize that they don't have any camaraderie between their members. They are significantly lesser jerks by the time of the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]]. |
| 60 | * InconsistentSpelling: It's not uncommon to see the guild's name spelled as one word, "Sabertooth", such as in Funimation's dub. |
| 61 | * MightMakesRight: Under Ziemma's leadership, they use strength and force to maintain their guild's honor. |
| 62 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: |
| 63 | ** Sting and Rogue were raised together with Fairy Tail's three Dragon Slayers as kids, and were sent 400 years from the past through an Eclipse gate operated by Lucy's ancestor in a plot to kill Acnologia. |
| 64 | ** Yukino is the younger sister of Oración Seis member Sorano, who has ties to the Tower of Heaven where Erza and Jellal come from. |
| 65 | * OpposingSportsTeam: The reason they're at odds with Fairy Tail pretty much boils down to this. With the exception of their leader and his daughter, they're not really villain material. |
| 66 | * {{Sadist}}: During the Grand Magic Games, all of them, [[TokenGoodTeammate with the exception of Rogue]], take very visible pleasure in ruthlessly crushing all their enemies; in particular, they take notable satisfaction in Minerva's torturing of Lucy, with Sting laughing out loud. Needless to say, [[BullyingADragon they come to regret it]], and eventually grow out of it once Sting takes over. |
| 67 | * SecondPlaceIsForLosers: The guild's model under Ziemma's rule is "To always be first." To drive the point home, their master berates, humiliates, and expels those who cost Saber Tooth their lead in the Grand Magic Games. They abandon this following their loss. |
| 68 | * SmugSnake: While they're certainly powerful enough to have earned their reputation as the No. 1 strongest guild in Fiore during the seven years TimeSkip, their ego far outweighs their power and they think of themselves as invincible. They even claim they could have easily defeated ''Acnologia'' and make light of Fairy Tail losing to him. The events of the [[Recap/FairyTailGrandMagicGamesArc Grand Magic Games arc]] end up being a huge HumblePie for them, to the point it forces them to change their ways. |
| 69 | * SmugSuper: Seeing how they actually earned their reputation as the No. 1 strongest guild in Fiore through pure strength, they have every reason to be as smug about themselves. That is, until Fairy Tail [[HumblePie beats that smugness out of them]]. |
| 70 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: Fairy Tail's quirky cheeriness definitely rubbed off on Saber Tooth after teaching them a thing or two about ThePowerOfFriendship. Following the Grand Magic Games, they're even shown to have built a swimming pool just like Fairy Tail does. |
| 71 | * TookALevelInKindness: Ziemma aside, the main guild members vow to better themselves as people and focus on more than just strength after the games. |

| 85 | [[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote: Click here to see his demon form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/demon_jiemma.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 86 | |
| 87 | The first master of Saber Tooth, Ziemma builds up his guild to become Fiore's top-ranking guild during Fairy Tail's disappearance. Once he's removed from the guild towards the end of the Grand Magic Games, Ziemma joins the dark guild Tartaros to transform himself into a demon. However, he's eventually defeated by the Twin Dragons. |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * AbusiveDad: He raised and trained his daughter Minerva. And by "raised and trained", we mean "tormented her and conditioned the poor girl to become a {{tykebomb}}". |
| 90 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He is obsessed with ensuring his guild's supremacy and his personality emphasizes his egotistical nature. Then, when he is finally knocked off his perch courtesy of Sting, he willingly allows Tartaros to turn him into a demon just so he can become more powerful. |
| 91 | * BadBoss: Ziemma's guild mates are understandably terrified of his wrath should they disappoint him. He also sees his guild mates as nothing more than {{Unwitting Pawn}}s to serve his own goals. This mistreatment comes back to haunt Ziemma, as Sting ultimately gets fed up with it and usurps him as the guild's master. |
| 92 | * BerserkButton: He does not like it when his guild questions his strength or when an animal reveals his guild mark in front of him. And it's an automatic expulsion from the guild if his guild mates fail to show how strong they are. |
| 93 | * TheCorrupter: He was critical in corrupting Minerva into becoming a {{tykebomb}} for Saber Tooth during the latter's childhood. |
| 94 | * DiabolusExMachina: His sudden return in the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]] sees him summoned by Mard Geer to protect him when Gray is about to defeat him, giving the Underworld King enough time to transform into his [[OneWingedAngel Etherious Form]]. Fortunately, Sting and Rogue make quick work of him. |
| 95 | * DisproportionateRetribution: An ironclad rule of his is not to dishonor the guild, which essentially amounts to "win all your battles". Lose even one battle, however, and he'll humiliate you in front of the other members and expel you from the guild, as Yukino found out the hard way. It's a wonder he even has a guild with such a harsh rule in place. Also, no animals are allowed to wear the guild mark, as Lector found out the hard way. |
| 96 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first appearance, he has Yukino stand before him and the other members, throws grapes at her, orders her to strip naked, and then expels her from the guild for failing to uphold his ideals. |
| 97 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He considers teamwork to be a sign that people who rely on others are too weak to fight for themselves. While this isn't necessarily wrong, he views it purely as a negative, and is disgusted with his guild for adopting such "weakness". |
| 98 | * EvilCounterpart: He's a pretty blatant one for Makarov Dreyar, seeing how he built his guild into the exact opposite of what Makarov did. He also seems to be what Laxus would have turned into had he not been stopped from his takeover attempt by Natsu and Gajeel during the Battle of Fairy Tail. |
| 99 | * EvilMentor: He raised his own daughter to undergo his TrainingFromHell and corrupted her into becoming one of his main enforcers for Saber Tooth. |
| 100 | * FatalFlaw: Ziemma's major flaw is his pride. He's determined to keep Saber Tooth as Fiore's strongest guild to the point where he's willing to do anything to achieve it, even if it means corrupting his own daughter into a {{tykebomb}} and expelling those who disappoint him. This eventually comes back to haunt him when Sting replaces him as the guild master. |
| 101 | * FlatCharacter: A PlayedForDrama example. He's a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk who shows to have nothing else, even his past raising Minerva shows him being the same he was as a guild master. While the rest of the guild (including, eventually, Minerva) grow out of their former policies, Ziemma stubbornly sticks to these ideals. He's ultimately taken down by Sting and Rogue to show the guild wants to be done with him, a symbol of the old, unfeeling Saber Tooth that refuses to change. Even his powers are generic, with him simply being physically strong and having non-descript purple blasts as his magic. |
| 102 | * GagNose: Despite being pretty large and bulky, he has a surprisingly thin, long nose. |
| 103 | * HavingABlast: His magic is pretty nondescript, but it involves unleashing explosive blasts of energy that [[NoBodyLeftBehind leave no bodies behind]]. |
| 104 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ziemma's TheSocialDarwinist policies in Saber Tooth come back to bite him as Sting, who was on the verge of expulsion along with Rogue, incapacitates him and Minerva tells her father that he's no longer in Saber Tooth. To twist the knife further, Sting and Rogue are the ones who ultimately defeat Ziemma when the latter becomes a demon. |
| 105 | * InconsistentSpelling: His name is spelled as "Jiemma" in Funimation's dub. |
| 106 | * InformedAbility: He's supposed to be more powerful than the Nine Demon Gates, yet he doesn't do anything impressive and Sting and Rogue take him down fairly quickly, and after they've taken a beating from Mard Geer, no less. |
| 107 | * ItsAllAboutMe: To Ziemma, power and honor are all that matters to him. Towards the end of the Grand Magic Games, he's no longer able to return to his guild due to his selfishness and sociopathic personality. |
| 108 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He never seems to have any redeemability in him even after Saber Tooth reforms their ways. |
| 109 | * LackOfEmpathy: He's a complete megalomaniac who doesn't show any remorse in expelling his guild members just he can maintain Saber Tooth's reputation. Nor does he show any emotion in trying to off Lector and taunt Sting about it. |
| 110 | * LargeAndInCharge: Natsu instantly tells that this behemoth of a man is the one calling the shots when he first spots him. |
| 111 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After Sting incapacitates him for seemingly vaporizing Lector, Minerva--his own daughter--shoves his ideals back into his face and tells him there's no longer a place for him in the guild. Then, when he becomes a demon after joining Tartaros, he's ultimately defeated by Sting and Rogue, the same wizards whom Ziemma frequently abused. |
| 112 | * LightIsNotGood: He looks like a Buddhist god with his robes, rosary necklace, and crown-like hat as a human, but he's a totally insane monster to the core. |
| 113 | * MadeOfIron: He takes several lightning- and fire-enhanced attacks from Natsu without any visible injury. A full-throttle blast from Sting, however, puts a hole through his chest, yet he somehow survives. |
| 114 | * MakeAnExampleOfThem: Should a Saber Tooth member [[YouHaveFailedMe fail to uphold Ziemma's ideals]], he'll publicly humiliate them, have [[InsigniaRipoffRitual their guild marks erased]] and expel them, so all can witness what happens to those who disappoint him. Yukino finds this out the hard way. |
| 115 | * MightyGlacier: Natsu's RapidFireFisticuffs would send a normal man flying, but Ziemma manages to keep his feet firmly on the ground the whole time. |
| 116 | * TheMobBossIsScarier: Saber Tooth may be arrogant assholes to every other guild in the Grand Magic Games, but only because they're afraid of what Ziemma will do to them if they show even an ounce of compassion. |
| 117 | * MonochromaticEyes: His eyes are completely white and he never has pupils, visually illustrating how inhuman he is. |
| 118 | * {{Narcissist}}: He cares only for himself and his reputation. |
| 119 | * NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: His great power certainly gives off the impression he's invincible. Even Ziemma thinks his guild is unbeatable. However, Sting proves him dead wrong after blasting a hole in his chest. |
| 120 | * ThePerfectionist: He willingly maintains the guild's reputation as the strongest in Fiore, even going so far as to expelling his guild members who fail to hold up his ideals. The only time he relents in this is with Sting's loss in the Chariot Race, and only because the event was unknown until after Sting had already been chosen to represent them and they couldn't do anything about his motion-sickness. |
| 121 | * PointyEars: In his demon form, his ears are pointy and they're both about as large as his face. |
| 122 | * ProphetEyes: His eyes are milky white and [[CreepyShadowedUndereyes surrounded by a black shade]]. The only time his pupils are visible are when he [[TranquilFury expresses his rage]] at Sting and Rogue's defeat towards Natsu; after Sting blasts him in the chest; and after the Twin Dragons defeat him in the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]]. |
| 123 | * PurpleIsPowerful: He has a purple aura and proved powerful enough to reign as Saber Tooth's leader for many years. |
| 124 | * RedRightHand: By the time he shows up in the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]], Ziemma sports a massive scar on his chest. |
| 125 | * ReforgedIntoAMinion: Mard Geer remakes him into a backup demon warrior to protect him in case the Nine Demon Gates fall in battle. |
| 126 | * TheSocialDarwinist: He built the guild firmly around this principle, believing all other guilds to be little more than pawns. This makes him an enemy of [[TrueCompanions Fairy Tail]], and later Saber Tooth itself when they decide they want to follow Fairy Tail's example. |
| 127 | * TheSociopath: He cares only for his and his guild's own glory and in order to obtain it he's willing to abuse and expel guild members should they fail him with no remorse at all, even if it's a girl. |
| 128 | * TheStarscream: After becoming a demon of Tartaros, he outright tells the guild's acting leader Mard Geer he'll pursue him once he's done with Sting and Rogue. |
| 129 | * ThisCannotBe: After all his ranting of his newfound strength as a demon, he cannot fathom how "weaklings" like Sting and Rogue could still beat him. |
| 130 | * TinyHeadedBehemoth: He becomes even larger in his demon form, yet his head is so tiny it could it inside the palms of his freakishly huge hands. |
| 131 | * TorsoWithAView: Sting hits him full blast at point blank with a laser right through the midsection for seemingly killing Lector in front of him. Despite this, he survives. |
| 132 | * TranquilFury: He becomes visibly furious when Sting and Rogue lose to Natsu to the point where everyone around him runs away in fear while he's simply sitting still on a bench. After turning into a demon, however, he turns into a raging, frothing madman. |
| 133 | * TranshumanTreachery: He's so bent on revenge for his humiliation that he let himself become a demon. This is in stark contrast to Minerva, who at least had it forced on her. |
| 134 | * UncertainDoom: His fate after he's skewered by Sting and Rogue's White-Shadow Dragon Silk is unknown, since he doesn't appear after Tartaros's demise. |
| 135 | * WithMyHandsTied: During his fight with Natsu, he only uses his right arm while his left is in his robe and still manages to hold his own. |
| 136 | * WouldHitAGirl: He has no problems with expelling anyone, even if it's a girl, to uphold his guild's reputation and willingly subjects his own daughter to his TrainingFromHell. |
| 137 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Ziemma virtually expels ''every'' incompetent wizard for failing Saber Tooth's ideals, almost including Sting and Rogue. |

| 144 | |
| 145 | Sting the White Dragon is one of the Twin Dragons. Raised by the dragon Weisslogia, his magic gives him the power to create lasers and bursts of sacred light. He is also an admirer of Natsu, and dreams of surpassing him one day. Under Ziemma's leadership, Sting is convinced that he and his partner, Rogue, are superior to all other Dragon Slayers. After Natsu single-handedly defeats them in the Grand Magic Games, however, a humbled Sting takes Ziemma's place as master to help turn his guild's image around. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * TheAllegedBoss: Despite becoming Saber Tooth's guild master, his guildmates frequently don't listen to him and poke fun at him, especially Rogue. |
| 148 | * AnimeHair: He has spiky blond ShonenHair that defies gravity. |
| 149 | * ArrowCatch: His introduction involves him catching and then eating an arrow fired at Rogue. |
| 150 | * AttentionWhore: He clearly enjoys the cheers that Saber Tooth receives on the first day of the Grand Magic Games with both arms raised and an arrogant smile on his face. It doesn't seem to fade after his CharacterDevelopment, either, especially seen in the ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' side story, where he's distraught that Jason keeps ignoring him throughout the guild interview. |
| 151 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: His outfits often bare his stomach, befitting him being PrettyBoy who wears effeminate clothing (though his personality is anything but). |
| 152 | * BenevolentBoss: Unlike Ziemma, Sting makes Saber Tooth's atmosphere practically indistinguishable from the warmth and merriness of Fairy Tail once he takes over as guild master. |
| 153 | * BerserkerTears: Sting bursts into tears after Ziemma seemingly vaporizes Lector to the point where he blasts the guild master through the gut. |
| 154 | * BigDamnHeroes: He gets his own solo rescue scene in the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]] when he rescues Yukino from Larcade. It's also one of the few scenes in the series where the big damn hero appears ''before'' making their dramatic entrance. |
| 155 | * BizarreTasteInFood: It's a RunningGag that he likes eating things that are white. This becomes particularly absurd in ''100 Years Quest'' when he can eat an ''attack'' just because "it was white". |
| 156 | * BloodKnight: He really enjoys a good fight, even when just watching one. The entire reason he pisses Natsu off is simply to force Natsu to fight at his best, [[CurbStompBattle which backfires spectacularly]]. |
| 157 | * BreakTheHaughty: For a good portion of the Grand Magic Games, he's pretty arrogant and think he can really take Natsu despite seeing firsthand how determined he can truly be. Then they actually fight and Natsu takes him down without any trouble, after which his self-confidence practically disappears. Lector's DisneyDeath doesn't help matters. |
| 158 | * BullyingADragon: He intentionally tries pissing Natsu off by mocking his worth as a Dragon Slayer and laughing when Minerva gives Lucy a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, just so they can fight each other at full strength. Natsu [[CurbStompBattle destroys]] both him and Rogue without batting an eye. |
| 159 | * ChildhoodFriend: He and Lector have been best friends since they were kids. |
| 160 | * DeerInTheHeadlights: At the conclusion of Grand Magic Games, he prepares to attack the heavily wounded Fairy Tail members, but one look at their [[{{Determinator}} determination]] and he freezes up completely before realizing he can't go through with it. |
| 161 | * DissonantSerenity: Sting spends much of the last day of the Games calmly taking out a few opponents after Lector is nearly killed by Ziemma and held hostage by Minerva. |
| 162 | * TheDogBitesBack: When Sting witnesses Ziemma seemingly blast Lector to kingdom come, he blasts him through the chest. |
| 163 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: In the ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' manga, Sting is easily frustrated with the lack of respect and trust he feels he deserves from his guild despite being TheLeader. |
| 164 | * EnergyWeapon: His [[BreathWeapon White Dragon's Roar]] fires a laser beam from his mouth, while his Holy Ray attack launches a BeamSpam from his hands. |
| 165 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He doesn't take kindly to Ziemma seemingly blasting Lector into oblivion. |
| 166 | * EveryoneHasStandards: In the Grand Magic Games, Sting steadily grows disgusted by Ziemma showing no compassion towards his guild mates. When Ziemma obliterates Lector, he furiously blasts Ziemma in the chest and takes his place as guild master. |
| 167 | * ExtremeOmnivore: He's seen munching on a silvery arrow in his debut appearance. As revealed in ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'', Sting can eat ''anything'' that's white-colored, seeing as he is the ''White'' Dragon Slayer, as opposed to those whose magic is fueled solely by their own elements. |
| 168 | * {{Foil}}: To Natsu. Both are the [[BloodKnight fight-happy]] "faces" of their respective guilds, yet Sting values strength over family. This changes when Sting begins to adopt Natsu's perspective. |
| 169 | * FreakOut: When Ziemma seemingly kills Lector, Sting spends a few moments crying and screaming before blasting a hole right through Ziemma. |
| 170 | * GambitRoulette: On the last day of the Grand Magic Games, he lets Fairy Tail take down their tougher opponents whom even [[AwesomenessByAnalysis master strategist]] Mavis couldn't predict how to defeat, while he himself [[OrcusOnHisThrone sits and does nothing]]. By the time only he and all of Fairy Tail are left standing, Saber Tooth is exactly eight points behind Fairy Tail, and taking out all five battle-weary Fairy Tail members at once would net them nine points, just barely poising Saber for victory. However, his conscience keeps him from acting on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. |
| 171 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: He goes through a brief HeroicBSOD in the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]] after [[CurbStompBattle his entire guild gets trounced]] by [[OneManArmy Bloodman]]. It takes Yukino [[ShrinkingViolet of all people]] to slap some sense into him. |
| 172 | * GracefulLoser: He calmly accepts defeat when he's cornered by Team Fairy Tail at the end of the Grand Magic Games. |
| 173 | * GuileHero: In the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]], Sting works around Natsu's adamant refusal of the Twin Dragons' help fighting Mard Geer by challenging Natsu to see who can beat him first. |
| 174 | * HeroWorshipper: He used to look up to Natsu when he was little, but after Fairy Tail's fall from grace during the TimeSkip, he set his sights to proving he was the better Dragon Slayer. After being put in his place and doing a little soul-searching however, Sting returns to this role. |
| 175 | * HeroicBuild: He's not as muscular as Laxus, but his body is lean and nicely toned. |
| 176 | * HeroicBSOD: In the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]], he falls into one after Bloodman wipes the floor with his entire guild and he starts to think he's unworthy of being a guild master. Yukino manages to snap him out of it with a [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slap and a pep-talk]]. |
| 177 | * HeroicSafeMode: He goes through a brief HeroicBSOD when Ziemma seemingly kills Lector in front of him. Although Minerva quickly reveals Lector is safe, he has to hold himself together when Minerva uses him as a hostage. |
| 178 | * HolyHandGrenade: His White Dragon Slayer Magic uses the element of holiness to create [[LightEmUp bursts of light]] and [[HolyBurnsEvil smite evil]]. Then there's his Holy Breath attack, which obliterates the entire floor of the Domus Flau arena. |
| 179 | * HotBlooded: About the only thing he and Natsu have in common before Sting's [[TookALevelInKindness boost in kindness]] is his unbridled passion for battle. |
| 180 | * HowDoIShootWeb: After getting his hands on his White-Shadow Dragon Mode, he has trouble figuring out how to [[ShadowWalker sink into his own shadow like Rogue does]], so Kagura [[GravityMaster enhances his gravity]] to push him in. |
| 181 | * HumiliationConga: He's put through hell from the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games onwards, not that it's undeserved given the major {{Jerkass}} he was for the first four days: not only do his ultimate attacks [[TheWorfBarrage barely phase Natsu and Gajeel at all]], but Natsu ends up taking both him and Rogue down without even trying, which puts Fairy Tail ahead of Saber Tooth in the rankings by a single point that Sting wasted earlier by dropping out of the Chariot contest on Day 2. It gets even worse when Ziemma [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beats him and Rogue]] for losing and seemingly vaporizes Lector, only to later learn Minerva is holding him hostage so Sting will no longer make a mockery of their guild. Once the torment's over, he decides to help rebuild Saber Tooth's image. |
| 182 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He's introduced calling out a dark guild wizard for fleeing for his life instead of sticking by his comrades. Compare this to later scenes where Sting considers Natsu's "I fight for my friends" speech nonsense, and is apathetic towards Yukino's expulsion on account that she was too weak to hold up their guild's name. |
| 183 | * InelegantBlubbering: After the emotional upheaval of being led to believe that Lector died, this and begging are pretty much all he can do when Minerva steps in and declares Lector as her hostage. |
| 184 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though he initially follows Ziemma's ideals of how strong Saber Tooth is, he deeply loves his guild mates to the point where, after being defeated by Natsu, he takes over as guild master. |
| 185 | * KamehameHadoken: His secret technique, Holy Nova, focuses all of his magic enery on one point. |
| 186 | * KlingonPromotion: He usurps Ziemma's position as guild master after seriously wounding him. |
| 187 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: His default position with the first-generation Dragon Slayers comes off as this, boasting to Natsu that he and Rogue could have beaten Acnologia despite having never seen the monster in action before. In truth, he's just being a blowhard; not only does he have no real experience fighting any dragon in battle, but the ones he faces up against are nowhere near Acnologia's level, and he can't even scratch them. |
| 188 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: He drops out of the games' Chariot event rather than embarrass himself by struggling for the paltry two points he could earn by placing sixth, since he, Gajeel and Natsu are far behind everyone else due to their [[WeaksauceWeakness motion sickness]]. This comes back to haunt him since those two points cost his guild their lead after getting beaten by them. |
| 189 | * LightEmUp: His White Dragon Slayer Magic produces light-based attacks, though the characters find it's more specifically a form of [[HolyHandGrenade holy magic]] than light magic. |
| 190 | * LightIsNotGood: He uses [[LightEmUp light-based magic]], yet is also a total {{Jerkass}} who cares little for most of his own guildmates. He later fits [[LightIsGood the opposite trope]] much more nicely after his level in kindness. |
| 191 | * {{Manchild}}: Lampshaded in ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' when Yukino gives him float cookies to cheer him up, since they are for children. |
| 192 | * ManlyTears: He lets the waterworks run when he thinks Ziemma has killed Lector, and later more happily when he and Lector reunite. He also breaks down in tears when his guild is seemingly wiped out during the battle with the Alvarez Empire. |
| 193 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He responds to Ziemma attacking him and blasting Lector for showing his guild mark by seriously wounding Ziemma and taking his place. |
| 194 | * MrFanservice: His outfits are designed to show off his very sculpted abs. |
| 195 | * NoSell: In ''100 Years Quest'', he easily devours Athena's white-colored EyeBeams. Even she's a bit surprised at that one. |
| 196 | * OddNameOut: Unlike the other Dragon Slayers, several of Sting's attacks have English names rather than Japanese ones. |
| 197 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Even after finding out Lector is alive, he becomes much more subdued and calculating than usual on the last day of the Grand Magic Games, taking out several enemy guild members (most notably Bacchus) with stony expressions and surprise attacks rather than his usual BloodKnight attitude and direct combat before hiding away from the cameras for the rest of the time. It's only by the end when it's all coming together that he lets some of his old cockiness back out. |
| 198 | * TheParalyzer: His White Dragon's Talon leaves behind a crest-like stigmata that completely immobilizes his target. |
| 199 | * PrettyBoy: He's a handsome guy with a somewhat effeminate appearance, thanks to his clothing style, with his feather boat, elbow glove, and bared midriff. |
| 200 | * PostFinalBoss: He becomes the last contender for Fairy Tail on the final day of the Grand Magic Games once the rest of their opponents have been taken out. He gives up before throwing even a single punch after being given the DeathGlare by the bruised and battered, but still [[BadassCrew badass]], Team Fairy Tail. |
| 201 | * PowerGlows: His White Drive and [[SuperMode Dragon Force]] forms turn his entire body pure white. |
| 202 | * ThePromise: During his childhood, he promises Lector he would defeat Natsu when he grows up so others will stop calling Lector a liar for saying that Sting killed a dragon. He never gets to fulfill that promise when their fated battle arrives, but both he and Lector agree it's better off that way. |
| 203 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: {{Subverted|Trope}}. While Minerva [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership makes him the leader after he defeats Ziemma]], she's the strongest member of the guild at this point, not him. After Tartaros and some power-ups he does seem to become Saber Tooth's strongest member, but not by much. In ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'', he's childishly frustrated at how powerful Minerva, Orga, and Rufus are. |
| 204 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After succeeding Ziemma as the next guild master following the Grand Magic Games, Sting is willing to give some helpful advice to his fellow guildmates. |
| 205 | * RedemptionPromotion: After his humbling at Natsu's hands, it takes him a good while before redeeming himself, aside from some battles against Ziemma. He struggles against the Eclipse Dragons, gets toyed with by Mard Geer, and is throttled along with his guild by Bloodman and his Alvarez invasion force. However, in his final one-on-one battle, Sting, with some aid from Rogue's powers and a small assist from Kagura, easily defeats Larcade, the third strongest of the Spriggan 12, whose magic was so potent he's dropping nearly everybody on the battlefield left and right. |
| 206 | * RuggedScar: He has a childhood scar right next to his right eye. |
| 207 | * SuperMode: When Rogue gives him his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic to achieve [[YinYangBomb White-Shadow Dragon Mode]], Sting combines it with his normal Dragon Force to get a massive power boost in order to fight Larcade of the Spriggan 12. |
| 208 | * TemporaryBulkChange: He winds up getting grossly overweight after an Eating Contest (hilariously, Minerva wins without gaining a single pound). Fortunately, Yukino is able to use Libra to slim him down instantly. |
| 209 | * TookALevelInKindness: Of all the Saber Tooth wizards who undergo this after the Grand Magic Games, Sting's change in character is the most noticeable, going from upholding the guild's [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinism]] without hesitation to pushing the guild away from its old image, even taking over as Saber Tooth's master to do so. |
| 210 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: It's often hinted that he and Yukino are attracted to each other and have a lot of ShipTease moments, but they're both too oblivious to do anything about it. |
| 211 | * TheWorfBarrage: He unleashes many of his ultimate attacks on Natsu and Gajeel, from his [[FinishingMove Dragon Slayer Secret Art]] to his [[SuperMode Dragon Force]]. Not one of them works on them the way he wants it to. |
| 212 | * WouldHarmASenior: He blasts a hole in Ziemma when the latter seemingly kills Lector, and teams up with Rogue to eventually defeat him once and for all during the battle with Tartaros. |
| 213 | * WouldHitAGirl: He [[ApologeticAttacker reluctantly]] punches Kagura, Yukino, and [[AmbiguousGender Frosch(?)]] out cold along with Lector when Larcade nearly causes them to eat each other. |
| 214 | * YinYangBomb: He gets his own White-Shadow Dragon Mode after eating Rogue's shadow magic to fight Larcade in the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]]. |
| 215 | * YouAreInCommandNow: After Ziemma's expulsion from Saber Tooth, Sting assumes the mantle as guild master to help change Saber Tooth's image for the better. |
| 216 | * YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Sting does away with Ziemma, the old establishment, and remakes Saber Tooth with the intention of bringing joy to his fellow guildmates. |
| 217 | * YoungAndInCharge: He's one of the youngest guild masters in the series at age 19, beaten out only by Mavis (who was age 13 when Fairy Tail was founded), while the rest of the official guilds' known masters are all old or middle-aged folks. |

| 222 | !!!Twin Dragons |
| 223 | |
| 224 | A two-man team of Third Generation Dragon Slayers, wizards who were raised by dragons and underwent dragon lacrima implants. Since they actually killed their dragon parents, they consider themselves "true" Dragon Slayers. As is the case with all dragon-raised wizards, the Twin Dragons are accompanied by Exceed partners of their own. |
| 225 | |
| 226 | [[folder:Twin Dragons in General]] |
| 227 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Sting and Rogue call themselves "true" Dragon Slayers since they actually killed their dragon parents, and mock Natsu for failing to kill one. When they're faced with rampaging dragons, they admit what they said about killing dragons was only half-true; they might remember ''killing'' their parents, but they had no experience ''fighting'' them. |
| 228 | * BashBrothers: Sting and Rogue fight most effectively as a team, and are even able to perform a [[CombinationAttack Unison Raid]] together. |
| 229 | * BigDamnHeroes: Following a note from Erza, they arrive in the nick of time to fight Mard Geer in the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]]. However, they say they would've arrived sooner if Erza had written the note a little better. |
| 230 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Frosch is the boke who often mixes things up, while Lector is the tsukkomi who provides corrections, sometimes with an insulting remark. |
| 231 | * CombinationAttack: They can perform a Unison Raid, the [[YinYangBomb Divine-Shadow Dragon Light Fang]]. They also perform Future Rogue's White Shadow Dragon's Rough Silk together, which can otherwise only be used in White-Shadow Dragon Mode. |
| 232 | * CurbStompBattle: Their match with Natsu and Gajeel on the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games is mostly one-sided, as they expected. What they ''didn't'' expect was that they'd be on the receiving end practically the entire time. |
| 233 | * FalseMemories: Their memories of killing Weisslogia and Skiadram were actually planted in their heads by the dragons, who had been hiding inside them the entire time like the rest of the dragons to ensure they wouldn't turn into dragons themselves. |
| 234 | * FinishingMove: [[RazorFloss White Shadow Dragon's Rough Silk]]. The X798 Rogue's use of it defeated and grievously wounded Natsu, Sting and Rogue's CombinationAttack version defeated and killed Ziemma, and Sting's use defeated and grievously wounded Larcade. |
| 235 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: They, along with Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy, are children from 400 years in the past, and were sent to the future through the Eclipse Gate for the purpose of defeating Acnologia. |
| 236 | * ForgottenFirstMeeting: Sting and Rogue were raised together with the first-generation Dragon Slayers by their dragons. However, they forgot all about it as a side effect of being sent through Eclipse at such a young age, though it's all but stated their admiration of Natsu and Gajeel, respectively, carried over from when they were children. |
| 237 | * HellishPupils: They have draconic-looking eyes courtesy of being Dragon Slayers. However, Sting lose them due to ArtEvolution, while Rogue is inconsistently still drawn with them. |
| 238 | * HumblePie: After they spend much of the Grand Magic Games boasting about their superiority to the first generation of Dragon Slayers, they're forced to reconsider everything they know about their own strength when Natsu [[CurbStompBattle mops the floor with them]] in a two-on-one match with their [[SuperMode Dragon Force]] activated, without having to use his own Thunder-Fire Dragon Mode to even the playing field. |
| 239 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: Are [[LightEmUp White]] and [[CastingAShadow Shadow]] Dragon Slayers that are typically teamed up, and provide relatively frequent [[CombinationAttack Unison Raids]] in the form of YinYangBomb's. |
| 240 | * MetaphoricallyTrue: Sting and Rogue always insist that they "killed" their dragon teachers, not "defeated" them. As it turns out, Weisslogia specifically ''requested'' Sting to kill him, while Skiadram was suffering on his deathbed and got a MercyKill from Rogue. And even then, it's revealed their dragons gave them FalseMemories of killing them for the experience. |
| 241 | * MythicalMotifs: Dragons, given their respective adoptive parents and Dragon Slayer magics. |
| 242 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: They make it their goal in the Grand Magic Games to defeat Natsu and Gajeel, respectively. However, their reasons differ: Sting does it to fulfill The Promise he made Lector, while Rogue simply wants to know why Gajeel would throw in his lot with his former enemies at Fairy Tail. |
| 243 | * RedBaron: They're known as "White Dragon" Sting and "Shadow Dragon" Rogue, respectively. |
| 244 | * RedOniBlueOni: Sting is the outgoing, fight-happy Red to Rogue's quiet, more observant Blue. |
| 245 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Subverted. They believe they killed the dragons who raised them, but it turns out the dragons faked their deaths by giving them FalseMemories. |
| 246 | * SuperMode: Sting and Rogue can activate Dragon Force at will, gaining FacialMarkings and {{Battle Aura}}s to match their respective white and black colors. They also have a weaker version of this called White Drive and Shadow Drive, respectively. |
| 247 | * TeamPet: Lector and Frosch, Sting and Rogue's Exceed partners, serve as this for the team and guild as a whole. |
| 248 | * WeaksauceWeakness: All Dragon Slayers suffer from motion sickness when their magic reaches a certain stage, and Sting and Rogue are no exception; in Sting's case, it's demonstrated during the Chariot event of the Grand Magic Games, while Rogue shows it in the anime when he absentmindedly hijacks a carriage to save Frosch. |
| 249 | * TheWorfBarrage: Both times they use [[CombinationAttack Divine-Shadow Dragon Light Fang]], it's trumped to show just how much stronger their foe is. Against Natsu in the Grand Magic Games, he simply uses Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade to plow through it and finish them off. Against Mard Geer, he simply holds out his bare hands and negates it without any injury whatsoever. |
| 250 | * YouHaveFailedMe: A subverted example occurs after losing to Natsu and Gajeel in the Grand Magic Games. Ziemma plans to expel the Twin Dragons and blasts Lector seconds later when he tries reasoning with their guild master. This pushes Sting to his RageBreakingPoint. |
| 251 | * YinYangBomb: Their Divine-Shadow Dragon Light Fang and White-Shadow Dragon's Silk attacks combine Sting's holy magic with Rogue's shadow magic. |

| 258 | |
| 259 | Rogue the Shadow Dragon is Sting's partner on the Twin Dragons. His magic lets him become one with his own shadow to take his enemies by surprise, a technique taught to him by the dragon Skiadram. Going by the name Lios in his youth, he dreamed of becoming Gajeel's disciple, but has since grown obsessed with fighting him instead. Despite his cold outward appearance, he is actually a kindhearted young man who takes issue with his guild's lack of camaraderie. However, he harbors a dark side that risks overtaking him should he ever succumb to despair, something that alarms him greatly. |
| 260 | |
| 261 | ->For info on his alternative timeline counterpart, see his entry on the [[Characters/FairyTailCriminals Criminals]] page under '''Future Rogue'''. |
| 262 | ---- |
| 263 | * AccidentalPervert: Accidentally gropes Yukino when trying to stop her and Sting from going after Frosch. |
| 264 | * BadassCape: His most common outfit includes a black cape with the Saber Tooth insignia on the left shoulder. |
| 265 | * BeleagueredAssistant: ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' reveals that Sting passes most of the guild paperwork off to Rogue. |
| 266 | * CastingAShadow: His Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic lets him [[ShadowWalker turn his body into a shadow]], and shroud himself in darkness to make himself harder to hit. |
| 267 | * CombatPragmatist: His fighting style revolves around lurking in the shadows and sneaking up on his enemies from behind. |
| 268 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He was trained by the Shadow Dragon, and his powers are darkness-based, but he is the most friendly and humane member of Saber Tooth, and neither shares nor approves of his guildmates' cruelty. He is, however, at risk of falling into [[DarkIsEvil the opposite trope]] due to his SuperPoweredEvilSide, which manifests as a LivingShadow. |
| 269 | * DemonicPossession: Gets possessed by his own future self in the form of a LivingShadow during his one-on-one fight with Gajeel, intending to stir up Rogue's EnemyWithin until he, too, gets taken over and becomes one with Future Rogue. |
| 270 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: His skin is pale, and his magic revolves around shadows. However, he's also the nicest guy in the guild before everyone else TookALevelInKindness. |
| 271 | * EnemyWithin: He is plagued by a shadow that manifests from the darkness buried in Rogue's heart, and will continue to try and consume him. In one BadFuture, the shadow succeeds and turns him into Future Rogue. Thanks to the influence of his friends, however, the shadow's influence weakens until it seems to vanish entirely on the day he would have turned evil. |
| 272 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even though Saber Tooth is full of [[AntiHero anti-heroes]] more than outright villains, it's almost like he's in the wrong guild. For instance, he's the only member of Saber Tooth who doesn't smile or laugh at Minerva's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown towards Lucy. |
| 273 | * {{Foil}}: To Gajeel when he was first introduced, though not to as great an extent as Sting was to Natsu. Namely, Rogue is the TokenGoodTeammate of Saber Tooth whereas Gajeel acts as the TokenEvilTeammate of Fairy Tail. |
| 274 | * FutureMeScaresMe: Rogue is horrified to hear that his X798 self will become the cause of all the destruction in Crocus. |
| 275 | * GracefulLoser: As he's falling after being defeated by Natsu, he says Natsu's power is unfathomable. |
| 276 | * HidingBehindYourBangs: Representing his reclusive personality, his right eye is always covered by his hair. |
| 277 | * HeroWorshipper: Played with. When Rogue claims that he used to admire Gajeel back in the latter's Phantom Lord days, similar to how Sting used to look up to Natsu, Gajeel points out that there was nothing admirable about himself, and suggests that Rogue actually ''feared'' him. |
| 278 | * IntangibleMan: He can turn himself into shadows, making him nearly impossible to grab. However, it seems that he needs to turn tangible again in order to actually physically attack someone, as Gajeel is able to grab him by his attacking arm when he goes in for a physical strike during the dual match. As well, another shadow-user can interact with and attack him in this state, as shown when Gajeel achieves Iron-Shadow Dragon Mode and is able to drag him out of the shadows. |
| 279 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is dismissive towards almost everyone and is just as arrogant as Sting towards earlier generation Dragon Slayers like Natsu and Gajeel, but other than that, he's a kind-hearted soul and one of the few in his guild who worries that their way of doing things isn't the best for their comrades. |
| 280 | * TheLancer: In contrast to Sting's open arrogance, Rogue is more quiet and contemplative. |
| 281 | * LivingShadow: He has one inside of him that embodies his inner darkness. |
| 282 | * MarkOfTheBeast: When his SuperPoweredEvilSide takes over in his fight against Gajeel, his hair goes up and he gains markings not unlike his Dragon Force mode, but it all looks much more sinister combined with the shadow tendrils bleeding off of him. |
| 283 | * NotSoStoic: He has an emotional breakdown when he first learns that his future self is responsible for the invasion of dragons, and that he himself runs the risk of becoming that kind of person should he succumb to his inner darkness. He also acts as a primary source of comic relief in a bonus omake, where the disappearance of Frosch and his later desire to see her succeed using her own abilities makes him a panicky, prideful, and all-around sappy mess. |
| 284 | * PurpleIsTheNewBlack: His [[CastingAShadow Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic]] is black with a purple tinge to it. |
| 285 | * RebuiltPedestal: While he initially wasn't happy with Gajeel joining Fairy Tail after Phantom Lord's demise, Rogue comes to terms with it after his and Sting's defeat at the hands of Natsu causes them to realize ThePowerOfFriendship--something which Saber Tooth lacked. |
| 286 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He's a Dragon Slayer with red eyes and a SuperPoweredEvilSide. Contrary to this, he's much more considerate towards his friends in the guild. |
| 287 | * ScarsAreForever: He gets a scar over the bridge of his nose after the dragon attack. |
| 288 | * ShadowWalker: As part of his magic. According to him, it's how the Shadow Dragon often stalks its prey. |
| 289 | * ShonenHair: Usually, his hair lays flat on his head. However, if [[SuperMode Dragon Force]] is active, it stands straight up and stays that way until Dragon Force gets deactivated. |
| 290 | * TheStoic: Rogue barely ever shows interest in anything besides Frosch and Gajeel. |
| 291 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Usually cold and disinterested, he shows a rather fatherly and comically overprotective side when just around Frosch. |
| 292 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: He has one that's embodied by a LivingShadow, making him noticeably stronger and more relentless. Case in point, he throttles Gajeel fighting seriously in this form when before not even Dragon Force alone was enough to close the power gap. |
| 293 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Despite sharing his team's arrogance, Rogue is the only member who thinks his guild should value the bonds between its members rather than strength and is the only one not savoring Minerva torturing Lucy, at least until everyone else begins adopting his point of view. |
| 294 | * UnfortunateName: According to [[AllThereInTheManual his profile]], he felt this way about the name "Rogue" as a child and insisted on being called "Lios", the name that Gajeel knew him by. In the present, however, he seems to have gotten over this completely, telling people to call him "Rogue" when his old name is brought up. |
| 295 | * WhenHeSmiles: This tends to only happen around Frosch, and when it does, he looks much more relaxed and less uptight. |
| 296 | * WouldHarmASenior: He helps Sting defeat Ziemma during the battle with Tartaros. |

| 307 | * CatsAreMean: He's an Exceed and a huge {{Jerkass}} to anyone who questions Saber Tooth's strength, [[TookALevelInKindness at least initially]]. |
| 308 | * ChildhoodFriend: He and Sting have been best friends since they were kids. |
| 309 | * DisneyDeath: Ziemma seemingly vaporizes Lector when he tries sticking up for Sting for losing his match with Natsu, causing Sting to FreakOut and blast a hole in the master's chest. Minerva later reveals she teleported him to safety at the last moment, but Sting doesn't get to see him again until after the Grand Magic Games. |

| 312 | * HumblePie: Lector spends much of the Grand Magic Games boasting about Sting's strength to everyone. This blows up in his face when Sting gets curb-stomped by Natsu, causing Lector to realize that true strength doesn't come without failure. |
| 313 | * InconsistentSpelling: His name is initially spelled "Lecter" by Kodansha. |
| 314 | * InelegantBlubbering: He's reduced to ugly, messy tears when Sting is completely dominated in the Grand Magic Games. |
| 315 | * InnocentBystander: Aside from being Sting's companion and occasionally a jerk, Lector puts up with nearly getting killed by his own master, and then being held hostage by Minerva to boost Sting's performance. |
| 316 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His boasting on how awesome Sting is can border on obnoxious. Nevertheless, he is far from an unfair Exceed and has genuinely come to love Sting as a close friend. |

| 318 | * TeamPet: He serves as Saber Tooth's pet and cheerleader, alongside Frosch. |

| 331 | * AmbiguousGender: No one's quite sure if Frosch is a boy or a girl; even the English dub alternates between calling Frosch a "he" or a "she" whenever they can't dance around the issue. When some curious fans asked Mashima on Twitter, [[ShrugOfGod he said that Frosch's gender is a secret]]. |
| 332 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Frosch gets distracted by a bug no less than two times while finding their own way home. |
| 333 | * BlushSticker: A permanent facial feature, emphasizing Frosch's adorable cuteness. |
| 334 | * BrutalHonesty: Frosch is prone to this due to having little grasp of the effect their words have. Examples include telling Erza that Sting and Rogue took a long time to come because the handwriting of her letter was so bad, and that "It's all Sting's fault" that Saber Tooth fell to second place after the Chariot event of the Grand Magic Games. |
| 335 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "[[YesMan Fro thinks so, too!]]" |
| 336 | * CheshireCatGrin: A fairly innocent one. Frosch really isn't smart enough to hurt anyone intentionally. |
| 337 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Frosch was born thinking they were a frog, and cried for three days and nights after realizing the truth. They eventually got over it and bought a frog costume to continue being a frog. |
| 338 | * TheCutie: Frosch is easily the most innocent and harmless of Saber Tooth's members, and is regarded as irresistibly cute by most people. |
| 339 | * TheDitz: Frosch is not the sharpest tool in the shed, and doesn't hesitate to agree when others tell them so. For example, when Lector voices his confidence that Olga will win his match in the Grand Magic Games, Frosch thinks it's because the match was rigged. |
| 340 | * InSeriesNickname: Frosh calls themself "Fro". |
| 341 | * InnocentBystander: Often stands nearby to watch Rogue or anyone from their guild fight. This winds up getting Frosch killed in Future Rogue's timeline. |
| 342 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Frosch never means any ill will, but comes off as this when they agree with Lector's more {{Jerkass}}-ish comments. |
| 343 | * LimitedWardrobe: He's ''always''' wearing his frog costume no matter the situation. ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' reveals he actually had several identical costumes that he cycles through. |
| 344 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: Frosch serves as one for Rogue, considering how the normally [[TheStoic stoic]] Dragon Slayer [[NotSoAboveItAll freaks out]] after Frosch goes missing. Frosch's death in the BadFuture is also what causes Rogue to turn evil. |
| 345 | * MeaningfulName: "Frosch" is German for "frog". |
| 346 | * NoSenseOfDirection: In an omake chapter, Frosch gets lost and tries to get back to the Saber Tooth guild on their own. Frosch ends up at Fairy Tail instead. |
| 347 | * TeamPet: He serves as Saber Tooth's pet and cheerleader, alongside Lector. |
| 348 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Played straight in Japanese and the English manga, where Frosch refers to him/herself as "Fro", but averted in the anime dub. |
| 349 | * YesMan: Always agrees with everything Lector says. |
| 350 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: Natsu learns from Future Rogue that in his timeline, Frosch will be killed one year after the Grand Magic Games unless protected. He effectively manages to avert Frosch's fate by keeping Rogue away from the killer, Gray, when he finds out the latter joined Avatar. Since Gray turns out to have been undercover all along, however, it's implied Frosch's death was a complete accident. |

| 361 | |
| 362 | The daughter of Ziemma Orland, Minerva is Saber Tooth's most powerful member. Her multi-dimensional magic, Territory, gives her absolute control over everything she sees. Like the rest of her guild, Minerva embodies her father's creed of "survival of the fittest", cruelly stamping out those who oppose her. Her obsession with strength eventually drives her to join Succubus Eye and later Tartaros, where she is transformed into a demon named Neo-Minerva. However, when Sting and Rogue rescue her during the battle of Tartaros, she returns to Saber Tooth for good. |
| 363 | ---- |
| 364 | * TheAce: Smart, beautiful, talented, and powerful, she's considered the ace sorceress of Saber Tooth. During the Grand Magic Games, Rufus explicitly calls her the strongest fighter in their guild, even though Sting and Rogue are more famous than her due to being dragon slayers. |
| 365 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair is initially dark purple in the manga, but it's black in the anime, which eventually sticks for the manga artwork. |
| 366 | * AdaptationExpansion: The anime expands on her TrainingFromHell backstory considerably. Ziemma has her fight one of her own guildmates to the death as a child and she spends a night alone with hordes of savage, man-eating beasts for extra measure. |
| 367 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is attractive, tall, has long dark hair, and acts very aloof and elegant most of the time. |
| 368 | * AlphaBitch: She garners the highest amount of respect in her own guild behind her father as its resident {{Ojou}}. She is also a ruthless SocialDarwinist who has no qualms rooting out any weaklings she comes across, be they her own guildmates, her opponents, or even her own father. |
| 369 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Minerva's mother has never been seen or mentioned. |
| 370 | * AmbiguouslyBi: In the [[VideoGame/FairyTail2020 2020 Video Game]], when Erza thinks that Minerva (who had sent an anonymous letter asking Erza to meet her in the forest) wants Erza to be her girlfriend, Minerva only says that Erza is "not her type", implying that she wouldn't mind dating a woman. She'd be [[Main/AmbiguouslyGay Ambiguously Gay]] were it not for the fact that she was affected by Larcade's [[ForcedOrgasm Pleasure Spell]] (which affects anyone who is not a virgin) during the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]], making it quite possible that she swings both ways. |
| 371 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Her goal is to keep Saber Tooth at the top of the guild food chain, and drags her enemies through the dirt to do so. She eventually sets her sights on dominating the criminal underworld after joining a dark guild. Giving up her ambitions is what sets her on her path toward redemption. |
| 372 | * AnimeChineseGirl: A PlayedWith example. She has the design of a Chinese ActionGirl, down to the UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}, OdangoHair, and hand-to-hand fighting skills, but is more of a DragonLady due to her cruel personality and sexualized appearance. But after her HeelFaceTurn, she does begin to be drawn as more cute than sexy and gains many silly traits like being a BigEater. |
| 373 | * ArchEnemy: A DeconstructedCharacterArchetype, and never viewed by Erza as this in turn. After being defeated by Erza in the Grand Magic Game, she becomes so dead-set on becoming Erza's rival that it becomes her only purpose in life, making Erza question if there's even any point to their continued clashes. As Minerva herself eventually admits, [[DeathSeeker she just wants Erza to kill her]]. |
| 374 | * BadassLongCoat: Her outfit as a member of Tartaros. Complete with a {{sarashi}}, exposed midriffs, and {{underboobs}}. |
| 375 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Excluding her UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}, all her outfits bare her midriff, fitting with her being a DarkActionGirl. It also serves to show off her guild mark which is located on her navel. |
| 376 | * TheBaroness: She's an authoritative, cold, and beautiful woman with a major sadistic streak. |
| 377 | * BarrierWarrior: Her spatial magic can be used defensively, as she blocks Natsu's punch and Ezra's strikes by focusing her colored aura around her hand. |
| 378 | * BeingEvilSucks: At the conclusion of her second duel with Erza, Minerva asks Erza to kill her after the former notes she deserves to die for all the damage she's done throughout her life. |
| 379 | * BigEater: Surprisingly, Minerva is the reigning champion of Saber Tooth's annual EatingContest with dozens of plates stacked next to her, and she doesn't even gain a pound while the runner-up Sting swells like a balloon. She repeats it in "100 Years Quest" by beating Erza in an eating contest, eating more than twice as many plates as Erza without breaking a sweat. |
| 380 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: After she gets captured and ReforgedIntoAMinion of Tartaros, her mental health takes a dive, with the only thing on her mind being to kill Erza and Fairy Tail. She snaps out of it with the help of Erza, Sting and Rogue. |
| 381 | * BrokenAce: She's the most powerful and talented mage in Saber Tooth, but her TrainingFromHell as a child left her emotionally scarred, and she has a great deal of self-loathing and emotional issues. |
| 382 | * BrokenBird: Ziemma repeatedly puts her through TrainingFromHell during her childhood, which transforms her into a merciless fighter who realizes [[DeathSeeker she actually doesn't deserve to live for the things she's done]]. Thanks to Saber Tooth's HeelFaceTurn, she recovers nicely. |
| 383 | * BrokenTears: She can do nothing but cry as Sting wastes Saber Tooth's last chance at winning the tournament by surrendering to Fairy Tail. |
| 384 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: She has large breasts that are often emphasized by her clothing, showing lots of cleavage or {{Underboobs}}. Rogue even once found himself staring at her cleavage. |
| 385 | * CameBackStrong: A {{subverted|Trope}} example occurs in the Tartaros arc. After Minerva withstands Kyôka's reinforcement curse, Kyôka takes enough of a liking to her to recruit her into her guild as a demon. Though this would normally mean Minerva is more powerful than ever, Erza still beats her easily. |
| 386 | * ChestBurster: In ''100 Years Quest'', during her fight with [[RealityWarper Rosseau Signario]], Minerva uses her magic to teleport inside her [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever now-giant foe's body]] and summons one of her Battle Gods while there, the summon tearing out of Rosseau's midsection head-first and seemingly defeating her. Unfortunately for her, the "giant" was nothing more than a construct the real Rosseau was hiding inside of, and she emerges from its mouth unharmed and eager to resume the fight. |
| 387 | * ChildrenForcedToKill: The anime adaptation shows how bad her childhood was, where Ziemma forces a tearful Minerva to murder fellow guild member Fingers after beating him, although he's the one who does the deed when she cannot. |
| 388 | * ClimaxBoss: She's the last opponent Fairy Tail faces in actual physical combat on the final day of the Grand Magic Games, fitting as she's TheAce of Saber Tooth. |
| 389 | * ColdBloodedTorture: She mercilessly tortures Lucy even preventing her from leaving the arena's boundary to make a point to Fairy Tail that they shouldn't get too uppity against her guild. Later, she tortures Milliana offscreen (we see the aftermath as several cuts on her back) just to pass time while Erza and Kagura fought. Unfortunately for Minerva, her attempts to demoralize Fairy Tail backfire ''big time''. |
| 390 | * CombatPragmatist: In the naval battle, she steals Lucy's gatekeys to render her helpless. As the tactical mind of her group in the final match of the tournament, she tells her teammates to avoid the strongest members of the opposing teams so they can be taken on [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown once weakened from their fights]]. This plan fails because Fairy Tail, even when beaten and broken, are just too badass to stay down for long. |
| 391 | * {{Conlang}}: She speaks the language of Yakuma, which is written out in vaguely Arabic characters in the manga, receiving transliterations and occasional subtitles as well. She uses it for [[LanguageOfMagic casting her Yakuma Eighteen Battle God spells]], and sometimes for [[PardonMyKlingon swearing]]. |
| 392 | * CorruptionOfAMinor: Ziemma began ruthlessly training her into becoming a {{tykebomb}} during her childhood, destroying her [[UsedToBeASweetKid sweet personality]] and molding her to become as ruthless as he is while putting her entire self-worth into becoming the strongest mage there is. |
| 393 | * DaddysLittleVillain: A PlayedWith example. Though Minerva was raised into becoming one of Saber Tooth's {{tykebomb}}s, it doesn't stop her from expelling Ziemma from Saber Tooth once the opportunity arises, considering the monstrous childhood abuse he put her through. She eventually shakes off this image after her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 394 | * DarkActionGirl: The TrainingFromHell Ziemma gave to Minerva has made her one of Fiore's most skilled and deadliest warriors. |
| 395 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: During her childhood, Ziemma frequently treats her as badly as any "weak" member of the guild, and gives her a TrainingFromHell so she can become a {{tykebomb}}, since he considers crying a sign of weakness. She eventually turns the tables on him years later when Sting one-shots him during the Grand Magic Games. |
| 396 | * DeathSeeker: This is her reason for wanting to keep fighting: she secretly wants Erza to kill her out of regret for what she's done. It eventually becomes a {{subverted|Trope}} example when she returns to Saber Tooth for good at the Twin Dragons' request. |
| 397 | * DirtyCoward: She goes from [[BullyingADragon smugly gloating about her "inevitable" victory over Erza]] to frantically begging her to stop shortly after the latter breaks out her [[AntiMagic Nakagami Armor]]. She eventually [[TookALevelInKindness grows out of it]] after her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 398 | * DisproportionateRetribution: |
| 399 | ** She brutally injures Lucy in the Grand Magic Games after the latter says she won't turn on her TrueCompanions and the hell they've gone through to get to their position. |
| 400 | ** She joins Succubus Eye to exact revenge on Erza for defeating her in the Grand Magic Games. |
| 401 | * TheDogBitesBack: She's the one who kills Kyôka, the demon who inducted her into Tartaros, when Erza is too worn out from the fight to finish her off. |
| 402 | * DragonInChief: As the top wizard of Saber Tooth under Ziemma, Minerva's more intelligent and effective at leading and controlling the other guild members as opposed to her father. Though she installs Sting as the new guild master in Ziemma's place, Minerva points out to everyone she's the one in charge. |
| 403 | * DragonLady: She's a beautiful and initially ruthless DarkActionGirl who wears a fancy UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}, lots of make-up, and has OdangoHair. |
| 404 | * DynamicEntry: While Erza and Kagura are dueling in the Grand Magic Games, Minerva warps in between the two and knocks them back. |
| 405 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: For all her talk of MightMakesRight, she's appalled upon realizing Kyôka murdered everyone in Succubus Eye for not being strong enough, instead of just recruiting them. |
| 406 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: As a Succubus Eye member, she ditches the UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}} for a {{stripperific}} black robe, complete with exposed midsections and PrettyInMink. Although it might as well be ''eviler'' just because she was hardly a good guy by ''any means''. After her HeelFaceTurn, she takes up a new outfit, distinct from the qipao to mark her GoodCostumeSwitch. |
| 407 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 408 | ** To Erza Scarlet -- both are renowned as the strongest women of their respective guilds, but while Erza fights to protect her guild's honor, Minerva fights to flaunt her guild's strength. After her HeelFaceTurn, however, her kind-hearted self is practically indistinguishable from Erza. |
| 409 | ** To Lucy Heartfilia -- both are abused by their fathers during their childhoods (physically for Minerva, emotionally for Lucy). Though Lucy develops into a heroine for Fairy Tail and genuinely cares for her guild members, Minerva is raised into becoming a {{tykebomb}} for Saber Tooth. |
| 410 | * EvilIsPetty: During their battle at the Sun Village, Minerva uses Erza's child form as a punching bag to vent after her humiliation in the Grand Magic Games. |
| 411 | * ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: She wears a lot of purple eyeshadow, but only during her tenure as a villain. When she pulls a HeelFaceTurn, she also stops using eyeshadow. |
| 412 | * EyepatchOfPower: One of her eyes is covered by a black mark as Neo-Minerva, giving her this look. |
| 413 | * TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: Next to Olga, Minerva is the most [[TheGift gifted]] sorceress of magic power within the guild. Her power is so immense it can rival perfectly with that of Erza and that of Kagura, to the point that it can be perceived miles away when she publicly manifests it. |
| 414 | * FurAndLoathing: Many of her outfits incorporate fur for the WomanOfWealthAndTaste look. Usually via fur trimmings, but she also wears a Feather boa fur collar around her neck and shoulders. She does keep wearing her furs even after her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 415 | * TheGadfly: ''100 Years Quest'' shows she likes to mess with people for her own amusement, as she convinces Natsu that Lucy's captors may be molesting her just to get him worked up and she's constantly poking Erza and Jellal about their UnresolvedSexualTension. |
| 416 | * TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil: She's the callous "Evil" to Erza's noble "good" and Kagura's vengeful "bad" during their three-way battle. |
| 417 | * GoofyPrintUnderwear: It's a RunningGag that she's always wearing underwear that has a goofy stripe pattern. It heavily contrasts with her otherwise stylish and opulent choice of clothing. |
| 418 | * HavingABlast: |
| 419 | ** Her territory magic allows her to detonate the wormholes she creates, which lets her create explosions anywhere within her sight. |
| 420 | ** She can also cast a spell that [[SummonMagic summons a huge statue-like being called Yagd Rigola]], which lets out a blast that destroys everything around it with a colossal explosion. |
| 421 | * HeadTurningBeauty: She's described as being incredibly beautiful InUniverse. When she first appears at the Grand Magic Games during the naval battle, the crowd goes wild at seeing her in a swimsuit. |
| 422 | * HiddenDepths: Next to her supremely powerful magic, the guild prides her on being [[SupremeChef a master chef]]. She can also [[NeverGetsFat eat dozens of plates worth of food and somehow not gain a single pound]]. |
| 423 | * HighClassGloves: Suiting an elegant LadyOfWar, she wears long blue or white gloves in combination with her UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}}. Comically she even has the gloves on during the naval battle where she's wearing a swimsuit. |
| 424 | * HighCollarOfDoom: As Neo-Minerva she wears a BadassLongCoat with a high collar, as a visual cue of her being more evil than before. |
| 425 | * HornedHumanoid: Her OdangoHair changes into a pair of horns when Tartaros transforms her into Neo-Minerva. |
| 426 | * IFightForTheStrongestSide: This is her reason for why she initially quits Saber Tooth for Succubus Eye, and why she wants to move up in the ranks of the dark guilds. She eventually achieves her goal when she is recruited in Tartaros, [[GoneHorriblyRight though not in the way Minerva hoped]]. |
| 427 | * IHaveYourWife: When Natsu raids their lodge seeking to fight Ziemma, she teleports Happy into her arms to get him to stop. Later, she rescues Lector right before Ziemma tries killing him, but tells Sting he can only see him again if Saber Tooth wins. Finally, she holds Millianna hostage in an energy-sapping bubble to provoke Erza and Kagura. |
| 428 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: She adopts Ziemma's Social Darwinism after years of her father beating it unto her head as a kid, so most of her self-worth's tied to being the strongest member of Saber Tooth, and in making Saber Tooth the strongest guild in Fiore. After being beaten by Erza, she flees Saber Tooth at the conclusion of the Grand Magic Games and becomes obsessed with defeating her. When the Twin Dragons rescue her during the battle with Tartaros, she emotionally breaks down upon realizing they still care about her despite her defeat and all the bad things that she did. |
| 429 | * InformedAbility: She claims to have a way to counter Erza's Nakagami Armor after being bested by it once. However, she switches to Erza's side before she has a chance can use it. |
| 430 | * ItsPersonal: After Erza beats her in the Grand Magic Games, Minerva relishes in any opportunity she can get her hands on so she can avenge her loss. |
| 431 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In spite of being a borderline sociopathic wizard at first, Minerva does love her fellow guildmates as shown when she returns to Saber Tooth for good. |
| 432 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Minerva quickly goes from a merciless {{tykebomb}} of Saber Tooth to a demon hell-bent on revenge against Fairy Tail, ''especially'' Erza, for losing in the Grand Magic Games. She gets better after her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 433 | * KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Rather than continuing to fight Erza and Kagura head-on in their match, she pits them against each other and then waits until they've worn themselves out before moving in to claim the spoils for herself. |
| 434 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: Minerva maintains her elegance and composure as she blasts everything in her line of sight with her Territory. |
| 435 | * LadyOfWar: As cruel a fighter as she is, she always does it with an air of grace if she doesn't lose her temper. |
| 436 | * LanguageOfMagic: She performs many of her spells by chanting in the [[ConLang language of Yakuma]]. |
| 437 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: After realizing Erza and Kagura could very likely defeat her in a two-on-one, she forces them into this situation after [[IHaveYourWife revealing she captured their mutual friend Millianna]], fully intending to let them weaken each other and swoop in to finish the job. When Kagura's about to willingly concede to Erza, she just shanks her InTheBack and beats up the injured Erza. |
| 438 | * LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Minerva is the dark to Yukino's light. Though she's as feminine as Yukino, she tends to be more aggressive, has black hair, and frequently wears darker clothing. |
| 439 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: She admits this when talking about Millianna's screams as she tortured her while waiting for Erza and Kagura to finish their match. |
| 440 | * MakeupIsEvil: Minerva initially wears lipstick and eyeshadow to emphasize her malevolence. She eventually ditches them after rejoining Saber Tooth for good. |
| 441 | * ManipulativeBitch: After watching Sting go through his RageBreakingPoint and beat Ziemma, she expels her father from the guild and uses the fact she rescued Lector to trick Sting into thinking Lector's life is in her hands to get him to fight with the PowerOfFriendship. She also uses Millianna as a hostage to give Erza and Kagura more incentive to fight each other. |
| 442 | * MeaningfulName: Minerva shares her name with the Roman goddess of war. |
| 443 | * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: During her time as Saber Tooth's DragonInChief, she's shown to be much smarter and more dangerous than he is, as she's actually intelligent enough not to just rely on brute strength to control and intimidate others, such as her taking Happy hostage so Natsu can back down from their guild or making Kagura and Erza fight each other so she can take down a tired opponent. |
| 444 | * MotiveDecay: Her motive in the Grand Magic Games is to uphold Saber Tooth's status as one of Fiore's most powerful guilds. Once Saber Tooth loses to Fairy Tail, she exacts revenge against the latter guild, further narrowing it down to an obsession with fighting Erza, the one person who defeated her. In her final battle with Erza, she eventually breaks down and admits [[DeathSeeker her desire to die]] after throwing away everything else in her life. |
| 445 | * MsFanservice: Minerva's an attractive woman with a curvaceous figure who wears many eye-catching outfits, with the ones she wears as a dark guild member being quite {{Stripperiffic}}. She suffers from ClothingDamage a lot during her fights and is shown naked save for a SceneryCensor while floating in PeopleJars during her transformation into Neo-Minerva. |
| 446 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite not being very muscular, she's shown to be quite strong, being able to push powerhouses like Erza and Kagura with her bare hands, and casually doing a NeckLift on Lucy. |
| 447 | * NeverGetsFat: She is a very slender woman capable of besting her guildmates in eating contests--this includes dragonslayers, famed for near-bottomless appetites and magic revolving around eating. |
| 448 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: She beats up Lucy on the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games to provoke Fairy Tail into challenging Saber Tooth, and later to a younger Erza during their rematch at the Sun Village. |
| 449 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Although we see her struggle, her eventual defeat of Wall Eehto's Historia takes place off-screen. |
| 450 | * {{Ojou}}: She commands respect in her guild as both its strongest wizard and Ziemma's daughter, and is always addressed as Ojou-sama ("Milady" in Funimation's adaptation) by her guildmates. Yukino seems to be the only one to use her name, but uses "-sama" on her, like with virtually everyone else. |
| 451 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: She wants to personally defeat Erza after the conclusion of the Grand Magic Games, and curses Tartaros for taking her "prey" away from her after Mard Geer casts Alegria to wipe Erza out along with the rest of Fairy Tail. |
| 452 | * OurDemonsAreDifferent: She is genetically reconstructed as a demon by Tartaros's technology. Even though she regains her human appearance upon her return to Saber Tooth, [[NotQuiteBackToNormal she isn't completely returned to human form]]. |
| 453 | * PardonMyKlingon: She sometimes switches to speaking [[{{Conlang}} Yakuma]] whenever she gets angry. Unlike most examples, her cursing is translated in the manga, which makes it seem more savory than it probably is; her favorites include "I ragd" ("Begone") and "Ro hwaset" ("Trash"). |
| 454 | * PragmaticVillainy: She's much more clever and pragmatic in keeping Saber Tooth in line than her father's dogmatic ways. In contrast to his LackOfEmpathy, she understands how people are motivated by friendships and strong bonds, and uses it to manipulate them, as shown when she rescues Lector to motivate Sting into fighting harder for Saber Tooth. |
| 455 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Her magic has a purple aura, and the rest of Saber Tooth flat out say she is their strongest member, proving a match for the likes of [[TheAce Erza and Kagura]]. |
| 456 | * RealityWarper: This is what her Territory amounts to: if she sees something, even if it's just empty space, she can manipulate it. It takes some seriously overpowered magic from Erza to beat her magic. |
| 457 | * RedRightHand: After temporarily transforming into Neo-Minerva, she sports an eyepatch over her right eye and has two devil horns on her head. They eventually disappear following her HeelFaceTurn, courtesy of Polryusica. |
| 458 | * ReforgedIntoAMinion: At the conclusion of her battle with Erza at the Sun Village, Minerva is ambushed by Kyôka and taken to Tartaros, where she's forced to withstand Kyôka's reinforcement curse and transformed into Neo-Minerva. Minerva eventually [[SuicideByCop tries having Erza kill her]] in part because she hates her demonic body. |
| 459 | * TheResenter: After being defeated by Erza in the Grand Magic Games, Minerva becomes resentful to the point where she joins Tartaros and becomes Neo-Minerva. |
| 460 | * RevengeBeforeReason: She joins Tartaros and abandons her own humanity to exact revenge on Fairy Tail for [[DisproportionateRetribution beating her in the Grand Magic Games]]. Erza defeating her yet again causes Minerva to eventually admit she doesn't feel she ''has'' anything left for her, having thrown away any chance of bonding with others. |
| 461 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Saber Tooth's defeat, an enraged Minerva decides to exact revenge on Erza. This is {{deconstructed}} as it eventually becomes clear to Erza and Minerva herself pursuing this revenge has only cost her more and more to the point where she asks Erza to finish her already. |
| 462 | * {{Sadist}}: She gives a SlasherSmile whenever she does something horrible to someone. She has a sadistic streak even after her HeelFaceTurn, though she reserves it for people who deserve it, such as her torturing the dark mage who kidnapped Yukino in ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' or when she tortured the miners who captured Fairy Tail in ''100 Years Quest''. |
| 463 | * SexySlitDress: Her UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}} dress has slits to expose her leg up to her thigh. |
| 464 | * ShamefulStrip: Whenever she cries during her TrainingFromHell, Ziemma makes her strip naked and [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside leaves her in the forest]] to fend for herself. |
| 465 | * TheSocialDarwinist: She almost takes it to an art form. Whenever someone she views as beneath her stands in her way, she will remorselessly beat them to the edge of their life if she can. She eventually snaps out of it after Sting and Rogue save her from Mard Geer. |
| 466 | * SoreLoser: Of the worst kind. She flees Saber Tooth and joins Tartaros so she can avenge her loss to Fairy Tail in the Grand Magic Games. This clearly contrasts most of her fellow guild-mates, who [[GracefulLoser accept their defeat]] and vow to create a more caring atmosphere at Saber Tooth. |
| 467 | * SourOutsideSadInside: Being forced to survive Ziemma's brutal TrainingFromHell transforms Minerva into an abrasive girl with few redeeming qualities. Behind that cruel exterior, however, Minerva's a sad and traumatized young girl. |
| 468 | * SpaceMaster: Her magic Territory is an enhanced variation of the classic manipulation of space. She can teleport herself and targets of her choosing at will, most commonly [[SwitchOutMove switching]] two or more objects' positions. She can also create and [[StuffBlowingUp detonate]] spatial pockets. |
| 469 | * TheStarscream: A PlayedWith example. Initially serving as Sabertooth's DragonInChief, Minerva eventually shoves Ziemma's ideals in his face after Sting beats him. Once Sting assumes the mantle of guild master, she holds Lector hostage so he can boost his performance. |
| 470 | * TheStrategist: She frequently plans Saber Tooth's battles, including the final battle at the Grand Magic Games where she has her team avoid the tougher fights (like Erza, Kagura, and Jura) and concentrate on the easy prey. Even after being defeated, her plan almost works, as Sting's completely unarmed facing a worn-down Fairy Tail team, but Sting instead surrenders as opposed to dishonestly defeating his idols. |
| 471 | * SummonMagic: She summons at least one of the Eighteen Yakuma Battle Gods during her match with Erza and Kagura. |
| 472 | * SupremeChef: According to Lector, she's a "wizard in the kitchen" and frequently cooks for guild members even before her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 473 | * SwitchOutMove: Her Territory spatial magic lets her instantly swap two objects or living beings who are in close proximity. She can even swap herself, being able to switch places with other people. |
| 474 | * {{Teleportation}}: Using her Territory spatial magic, she can teleport herself to places, by exiting out of the spatial bubble that she manifests. She can also teleport other things, including people, such as capturing Happy when Natsu fights Ziemma, teleporting Juvia out of the arena in the naval battle, and rescuing Lector from her father. The limits and specifics of her teleportation aren't specified, but she always uses it on unaware targets, implying it can be avoided if she tries using on alert opponents. |
| 475 | * ThatWomanIsDead: She briefly renounces her humanity after she is [[ReforgedIntoAMinion transformed into Neo-Minerva]]. However, she gets better after the conclusion of the battle with Tartaros. |
| 476 | * TookALevelInKindness: After the Twin Dragons help her realize Saber Tooth [[YouAreNotAlone still cares about her]] and bring her back to to the guild for good, Minerva goes from a merciless {{tykebomb}} to a much friendlier person like the rest of the guild members before her. |
| 477 | * TrainingFromHell: Minerva's childhood training under Ziemma involves psychological and physical torment. Ziemma frequently beats her to the point where she undergoes a ShamefulStrip and is left in the forests so she can fend for herself. |
| 478 | * {{Tykebomb}}: She was born not to live as her own person with her own hopes and dreams, but so her father could breed a heartless warrior to carry on his own bloodline. She snaps out of it after the battle with Tartaros. |
| 479 | * TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Her father is a huge unattractive guy with a GagNose while she's incredibly beautiful, and shares no physical traits with him. |
| 480 | * {{Underboobs}}: As Neo-Minerva, she only has a single bandages wrapped around her breasts, leaving her underboobs exposed. |
| 481 | * UnusualEyebrows: Her eyebrows are short, thin and a few inches away from her actual eyes. |
| 482 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: During her childhood, Minerva develops from a kindhearted girl into Saber Tooth's {{tykebomb}} thanks to Ziemma's TrainingFromHell. |
| 483 | * VillainousBSOD: At the conclusion of her second and final rematch with Erza, her memories of Ziemma's abuse begin to surface while Erza urges her to stop their nonsensical fighting, which causes a distraught Minerva to lose her will to live and ask Erza to end her suffering. She eventually snaps out of it after the Twin Dragons rescue her from Mard Geer. |
| 484 | * VillainTeleportation: Her Territory gives her this ability in ways no other teleportation specialists like Doranbalt can. Not only can she teleport others, but she can switch places and body positions with them. |
| 485 | * WomanOfWealthAndTaste: She's an arrogant and intelligent DarkActionGirl who wears luxurious and stylish clothing. |
| 486 | * WorfEffect: She's defeated off-screen by Kyôka to show how much stronger the Demon Gates are than Saber Tooth. |
| 487 | * WouldHurtAChild: While her Succubus Eye superior turned Erza into a child, she takes too much pleasure in beating her like that. |
| 488 | * YouAreNotAlone: Minerva wants Erza to kill her, feeling no one wants her around because of what she has done. The Twin Dragons prove her wrong when they retrieve her and bring her back to Saber Tooth for good. The welcome home party she receives after the conclusion of the battle with Tartaros brings her to tears. |
| 489 | * WeaponizedTeleportation: She can teleport herself next to opponents for a surprise attack (such as when she stabs Kagura InTheBack) or teleport ''then'' within her reach, such as when she teleports Lucy next to her so she can kick her. In ''100 Fairy Quest'' she demonstrates she can teleport herself ''inside'' large opponents so she can rip them apart from the inside. |

| 498 | [[caption-width-right:300:Sorano's second outfit]] |

| 501 | |
| 502 | Sorano is a young woman more infamously known as Angel of the Oración Seis. Kidnapped as a child and separated from her little sister, Yukino, she grew into a cruel dark wizard who helped further the Seis' goal for world domination. After Sorano is released from prison and renounces her old guild seven years later, Jellal convinces her to join the vigilante guild Crime Sorcière, rekindling her former kindness in the process. Following Crime Sorcière's pardon for their crimes, Sorano joins Saber Tooth to reunite with her beloved little sister for good. |
| 503 | |
| 504 | Similar to Yukino, Sorano is a Celestial Wizard who has owned the Zodiac spirits Gemini, Scorpio, and Aries. While a talented summoner, she is also notorious for treating her spirits like tools, with Aries in particular having been stolen from a wizard murdered by her. After her contracts with her spirits are nullified following the Oración Seis's detainment, she gains the ability to summon angelic beings instead. |
| 505 | ---- |
| 506 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Besides her HeelRealization in the anime's Key of the Starry Heavens {{Filler}} arc, if not because of it, Sorano is the first member of the Oración Seis to wholeheartedly consider joining Crime Sorcière in the [[Recap/FairyTailTartarosArc Tartaros arc]] in the anime. |
| 507 | * AngryCheekPuff: After the second TimeSkip, she's prone to puffing her cheeks when upset, a habit that makes her look silly and harmless. |
| 508 | * AnimeHair: She decorates part of her hair in the shape of a halo. |
| 509 | * TheAtoner: She states that she can't be Yukino's big sister as she is, and swears she will do everything in her power to atone for her sins so she can proudly face her again. Around the time of Acnologia's demise, she's pardoned for her crimes and finally reunites with her sister. |
| 510 | * BadBoss: She treats her spirits as tools, not seeing them as living beings, and even expresses disgust at Lucy for showing compassion towards spirits. |
| 511 | * BathingBeauty: The first thing she wants to after after she's freed from prison is to take a shower. |
| 512 | * BrokenBird: Being separated from her sister by Zeref cultists and trapped in the Tower of Heaven put a huge damper on her compassionate disposition as a child, turning her into a callous and sadistic young woman. |
| 513 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: The skimpy clothes she wears always give focus to her large breasts, with several MaleGaze shots being aimed at her cleavage. |
| 514 | * ClothingDamage: After getting hit by Lucy's [[StarPower Urano Metria]], Angel's outfit becomes filled with holes and tears, to the point Lucy, [[AwesomenessInducedAmnesia who doesn't remember casting the spell due to how it was put into her mind by Hibiki]], can only wonder why she "looks like she fought with a tornado head-on." |
| 515 | * CoolBigSis: She is this to Yukino [[UsedToBeASweetKid as a child]], always sticking up for her whenever she was scolded by their parents. She embraces this role again after being pardoned and joining Saber Tooth to be with Yukino for good. |
| 516 | * CoolShip: She is captain of the ''Olympia'', an underwater temple that can convert into a high-speed submarine. |
| 517 | * DoNotCallMePaul: After joining the Oración Seis, Sorano rejects the use of her birth name in favor of her codename, Angel. However, she goes by her real name again after being recruited into Crime Sorcière. |
| 518 | * EvilCounterpart: She serves as Lucy's while serving the Oración Seis. Both are celestial wizards, but while Lucy treats her spirits with respect and kindness, Sorano sees them as just tools for her own use. |
| 519 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She starts out with a bob haircut. After maturing physically and mentally for seven years, she grows her hair out into a HimeCut. |
| 520 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She outright calls herself "Angel" and is a radiant young woman, but she's also a dark wizard, an abusive spirit owner, and a remorseless murderer. She begins to live up more to her old codename after her HeelFaceTurn, however. |
| 521 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Sorano has a name similar to her sister, Yukino. |
| 522 | * FluffyFashionFeathers: Keeping with her angel motif, many of her dresses have fluffy white feathers. |
| 523 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: The members of Saber Tooth besides Yukino see her as this after Sorano joins their guild, calling her obnoxious but otherwise well-meaning. |
| 524 | * GenkiGirl: She shows a much more playful and childish side to herself after the second TimeSkip, even sticking her tongue out like a kid at times. |
| 525 | * HeelFaceTurn: She finally turns to the side of good thanks to Yukino, joining her sister's guild shortly afterwards. |
| 526 | * HeelRealization: Although she tries hiding it behind a [[HiddenHeartOfGold facade]], it becomes evident during her reunion and confrontation with Yukino that she has become terribly torn up over the crimes she committed as one of the Seis, to the point where she can't even think of herself as Yukino's CoolBigSis until she's made amends. This comes true in ''100 Years Quest''. |
| 527 | * HeroKiller: Before the start of the series, she murdered Karen Lilica, a powerful Celestial mage from Blue Pegasus, earning their ire. It's how she acquired Aries, and makes her responsible for the events of the Loke arc. Ironically, Karen was a major {{Jerkass}} who wasn't much better than Sorano. |
| 528 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: She appears to be unremorseful when she reminds Lucy that she murdered Karen once Lucy starts piecing together her relationship with Yukino. Once she reunites with Yukino, however, it immediately becomes obvious that she harbors such tremendous guilt for her crimes that she can't even look her sister in the eye, transparently acting like a total stranger around her. |
| 529 | * HimeCut: Her grown-out hair is cut as such after the TimeSkip; long in the back, sidelocks, and even bangs. Note that this is after maturing physically and mentally. |
| 530 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although she can be excessively cruel to her friends and allies, it becomes clear she deeply loves her sister, as shown in ''100 Years Quest''. |
| 531 | * LackOfEmpathy: She fires straight through her own spirit Aries's chest to get at Loke using Caelum without batting an eye, and justifies herself by saying Celestial Spirits can't die and will eventually recover from such injuries. She is unfazed when a disgusted Lucy argues that spirits still feel pain and emotions. It takes at least seven years for it to finally hit Sorano [[HeelRealization what a horrible and uncaring person she had become]]. |
| 532 | * LastBreathBullet: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She tries to use the last of her magic power to kill Lucy, but Caelum deliberately veers the shot away from her, prompting Angel to call the spirit a traitor in disbelief before it vanishes and she herself collapses from exhaustion. |
| 533 | * LightIsNotGood: She wears a white dress, has white hair, is named "Angel", and is a Celestial Wizard. She's also one of the cruelest characters in the series, and has murdered a named character off-screen. She eventually improves after she joins Crime Sorcière, though she still has a nasty attitude toward everyone except Yukino, her younger sister. |
| 534 | * LongLostRelative: She is Yukino's long-lost sister, who was separated from her when she was brought to the Tower of Heaven as a child. When the two are finally reunited, Sorano refuses to acknowledge herself as Yukino's sister until the end, when she's forgiven herself for her crimes. |
| 535 | * ManipulativeBitch: She uses Gemini's {{Shapeshifting}} ability to devious effect by figuring out her enemies' secrets and using them against them. |
| 536 | * MeaningfulName: Her real name, Sorano, means "of the sky", as she one day hopes to become. |
| 537 | * MsFanservice: All of her outfits are very {{Stripperiffic}} in different ways, be it a NavelDeepNeckline, an ImpossiblyLowNeckline or just becoming a WalkingSwimsuitScene. |
| 538 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She has white hair and is a talented celestial wizard. Taken further after the TimeSkip when she uses angel magic. |
| 539 | * MythicalMotifs: Angels, being her name at her debut and clearly imitating the appearance with her outfit. In an anime filler, she even learns to summon angelic creatures after the timeskip. |
| 540 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Her first outfit has a plunging neckline that goes down to her navel. |
| 541 | * ReallyGetsAround: {{Implied|Trope}} by the fact she's the most affected by Larcade's [[ForcedOrgasm Pleasure Spell]] who effects seem to differ depending on a person's promiscuity (with virgins being not affected at all). While many characters get slowly rendered incapacitated, [[TheModestOrgasm she collapses almost immediately]] and soon enough passes out. She only wakes up much later after Larcade has already been defeated, and is apparently still having {{Erotic Dream}}s. |
| 542 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Her first outfit leaves her back exposed, to compliment the NavelDeepNeckline. |
| 543 | * ShipperOnDeck: By the time of ''100 Years Quest'', she’s fully supportive of Jellal and Erza being together. Automatically implying they’re a couple (much to their protests), and asking how many children they'll have. |
| 544 | * SmugSmiler: She faces everyone with a self-satisfied sneer throughout the [[Recap/FairyTailOracionSeisArc Nirvana arc]]. It vanishes almost completely in later arcs, however. |
| 545 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: She is the only female of this dark guild, [[AdaptationExpansion at least in the manga]]. |
| 546 | * SummonMagic: Angel is a Celestial Spirit wizard with three Golden Keys (Aries, Gemini, Scorpio). After losing her keys, she learns to summon angelic creatures over the TimeSkip. |
| 547 | * TattooedCrook: Has two angel wings tattooed [[RuleOfSexy above her breasts]]. |
| 548 | * ThatWomanIsDead: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. She refuses to acknowledge herself as Yukino's sister and pretends not to know her when the two reunite in the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]]. When it's obvious she can't fool Yukino and is pressed on the issue, she tearfully tells Yukino she isn't the sister of a murderer, but promises that Sorano will "return" once she's forgiven herself for her crimes. They do eventually get back together by the time of ''100 Years Quest'', this time embracing her true name. |
| 549 | * TookALevelInKindness: She changes from a downright merciless Celestial Wizard into one who is driven by a desire to make up for her misdeeds. |
| 550 | * UncannyFamilyResemblance: To Yukino: both share the same color of hair, type of outfit, and magic. |
| 551 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Yukino idolizes her sister, and has nothing but good things to say about her from their childhood together. Compare that image with her criminal record of murdering Celestial Wizards, stealing their keys and treating them as playthings for her own sadistic amusement. After joining Crime Sorcière, however, she starts showing shades of her old, compassionate self. |
| 552 | * VaporWear: Any ClothingDamage she sustains shows that she doesn't have anything under her outfits. |
| 553 | * VerbalTic: She has a tendency to end her sentences with "~zo" in Japanese. |
| 554 | * VillainousBreakdown: When Gemini refuses to kill Lucy after being overwhelmed by her feelings of genuine love for Celestial Spirits, Angel angrily dismisses them. Upon realizing she's tricked by Hibiki and about to be hit by Lucy's [[StarPower Urano Metria]], she can only cower before being bombarded. By the time she's on her last legs trying to kill Lucy with Caelum, she's reduced to a SlasherSmile and WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises and can only let out a weak cry of disbelief when Caelum refuses to kill Lucy as well. |
| 555 | * WalkingSwimsuitScene: She's reduced to wearing a bikini at all times after the second TimeSkip, even in [[ExposedToTheElements the frigid temperatures of northern Ishgal]]. She still wears the same bikini even as part of Saber Tooth in ''100 Years Quest'', even when she's hanging around at their library, which makes her stick out like a sore thumb. |
| 556 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: Her hair is silvery white, and she starts out as one of the most sadistic females in the series. |
| 557 | * ZergRush: Her primary method of attack with her angel magic is to summon a swarm of angels with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily. |
| 558 | |
| 559 | !!In the Key of the Starry Heavens arc |
| 560 | |
| 561 | As a member of the Neo-Oración Seis, Angel becomes a practitioner of Angel Magic, which allows her to summon angelic beings that gradually eat away at her own lifespan so that when she dies, she will become an angel herself. |
| 562 | ---- |
| 563 | * CastFromLifespan: Her form of Angel Magic in this arc manifests her life force as coins that she offers to her angels. Stronger angels require higher costs, hastening her time of death. In the end, Dan uses his SizeShifter magic directly on Angel's magic, returning her lifespan to normal. |
| 564 | * DeathSeeker: She aims to cast her own life away and go to Heaven to free herself from the cesspit of sin and corruption she sees the world to be. She even takes hold of Gray's ice scythe and urges him to thrust it through her chest as Death himself would. |
| 565 | * GlamourFailure: When her angels are defeated, they shed their divine forms to reveal themselves as hideous blobs of flesh. She also begins to take on their form as she grows closer to death, her skin chipping away to reveal red flesh. |
| 566 | * GracefulLoser: She freely admits her defeat to Gray and Dan after they destroy her last "angel" and save her life. |
| 567 | * ImpossiblyLowNeckline: She switches out her NavelDeepNeckline with a costume that shows off her shoulders by how low-cut they are. |
| 568 | * LightIsNotGood: Her Angel Magic allows her to summon angels in battle. However, these "angels'" divine appearance is a front for their true nature as grotesque parasites that feed off her life force. |
| 569 | * TheOphelia: She is shown to have lost a few screws as a side-effect of her new magic; she thinks that when the angels she summons completely devour her soul, she will become an angel herself. Gray manages to talk some sense back into her, however. |
| 570 | * TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: She is defeated after Gray helps her realize the monster she's allowed herself to become. |
| 571 | * VillainousBreakdown: As Gray talks down at both her [[DeathSeeker death wish]] and her "[[EldritchAbomination angels]]", her previous calm shatters into rage and denial which only further turns to horror when she realizes he's right. |
| 572 | * WhatHaveIBecome: When she sees her "angels" as the {{Eldritch Abomination}}s they are, she realizes she is about to become another monster like them, which solidifies her HeelFaceTurn. |

| 577 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FuyukaOura (Japanese), Creator/MallorieRodak (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Julie Deliquet (French) [seasons 4 to 8], Valérie Bachère [season 9] (French)[[/note]] |
| 578 | [[quoteright:271:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_yukino_anime.png]] |
| 579 | |
| 580 | Yukino is a female Celestial Wizard and the owner of the Zodiac spirits Libra and Pisces, as well as the fabled thirteenth Zodiac spirit, Ophiuchus. She's also the younger sister of Sorano. As one of Saber Tooth's up-and-coming members, she is expelled from her guild after one screw-up too many and joins Arcadios's Holy Knights as a sergeant for his Eclipse Plan. At the conclusion of the Grand Magic Games, Yukino leaves the Holy Knights and assists Saber Tooth to rebuild their guild. |
| 581 | ---- |
| 582 | * AbusiveParents: {{Implied|Trope}} by the fact that her parents would call her out over everything, even when it wasn't her fault. It's also quite telling that she's more concerned with reuniting with Sorano than avenging her parents' deaths. |
| 583 | * AdaptationalBadass: She's an impressive enough celestial wizard in the manga, but in the anime, she turns out to be a skilled [[KungFuWizard hand-to-hand combatant]] as well, personally fighting Eclipse Virgo and Libra. She also performs Urano Metoria, one of Lucy's ultimate attacks, as a CombinationAttack with her. |
| 584 | * ArtEvolution: She's initially drawn with narrower eyes and a bob cut, but her eyes become wider and her hair becomes a pixie cut, which helps emphasize her role as a rookie in the guild. |
| 585 | * BadassCape: She initially wears a big, gaudy cloak with FluffyFashionFeathers during the Grand Magic Games. However, she wears it less frequently in favor of more casual clothes after the games. |
| 586 | * BadassLongcoat: Wears a militaristic long coat while as a sergeant of the Holy Knights. |
| 587 | * BigSisterWorship: She thought the world of her CoolBigSis, calling her kind and beautiful, and she's even willing to rewrite all of history just to make it so they were never separated by one of Zeref's cults. |
| 588 | * BreakTheCutie: Not long after getting into the guild she'd always dreamed of joining, she is defeated by Kagura in the Grand Magic Games, admonished by Ziemma, forced to strip in front of the whole guild, and finally expelled for her incompetence. Simply being treated like a normal human being by Natsu causes her to burst in tears, unable to bear the pain any longer. |
| 589 | * BuxomBeautyStandard: [[DirtyOldMan Elefseria]] is distracted by her large chest just like he got with Lucy, and even teleports himself inside her cleavage. |
| 590 | * DamselOutOfDistress: When she's kidnapped in the ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' manga, she manages to fight back enough long enough until Sting can get to her in time. |
| 591 | * DoomedHometown: Her hometown was destroyed by the same Zeref cultists who took Erza, Jellal, and the Oración Seis (her sister included) to the Tower of Heaven. |
| 592 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Her name is Yukino, and her sister (better known as Angel) is named Sorano. |
| 593 | * FemalesAreMoreInnocent: [[DownplayedTrope Minerva aside]], Yukino is the only member of Saber Tooth who lacks any of her guild's trademark arrogance, not counting her moment of overconfidence when facing Kagura. |
| 594 | * FeminineWomenCanCook: She is shown to bake cookies for the guild in ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth''. |
| 595 | * FluffyFashionFeathers: Her BadassCape has these, an early indicator of her relationship with the similarly dressed Sorano. |
| 596 | * FormalCharactersUseKeigo: She's extremely formal, using the ultra-formal [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns personal pronoun "watakushi"]] and using "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics -sama]]" on virtually everyone else, even Lector and Frosch. |
| 597 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: When Sting suffers a HeroicBSOD after his guild is seemingly defeated by Bloodman, it's Yukino who slaps him back to his senses, much to the guild's shock. True to form, though, she's deeply apologetic after hitting him. |
| 598 | * TheHeart: She's depicted as such in the reformed Saber Tooth. ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' shows her tending the bar, baking everyone cookies, and generally being seen with a calming smile. She's also the one who [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan gets Sting's head back in the game when they've been overwhelmed by Bloodman]], though not before slapping him. |
| 599 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: Her bet with Kagura to wager her life gets her [[YouHaveFailedMe expelled from Saber Tooth]] in the most humiliating way possible, since it wasn't her loss that disappointed him, but the fact that she's indebted to answer to an "inferior" guild. |
| 600 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Implied. While she recklessly overestimates her chances against Kagura and pays the price for it, it's indicated that she always knew that she wasn't really one of Saber Tooth's elites, since she's only a replacement for Minerva. |
| 601 | * InstantExpert: In ''100 Years Quest'' she is able to use Lucy's unique Dress Up Spirit magic after seeing her do it once, though she admits combining the spirit powers like Lucy can is beyond her. Lucy is quite flabbergasted since it took her a full year to learn how to do it. |
| 602 | * ItsPersonal: Her motivation for participating in the Eclipse Plan to kill Zeref, despite the alteration of the timeline it would cause, is because his worshipers separated her from her beloved older sister. |
| 603 | * IWillFindYou: She's determined to reunite with Sorano, even if it means changing the past itself so that they were never separated in the first place. They finally see each other again after Irene's Universe One shrinks the continent. |
| 604 | * IWillWaitForYou: Non-romantic example. When Sorano asks her to wait until she can [[TheAtoner finally atone for her crimes]], Yukino states she'll wait as long as necessary for her big sister to come back. Sure enough, they do reunite and ''100 Years Quest'' reveals that she joins Saber Tooth, Yukino's guild. |
| 605 | * TheJinx: It is her lifelong belief that she brings bad luck to others. After she hears that she was present with Future Lucy during her last failed effort to save Fiore from the horde of dragons, Yukino can't help but go into another HeroicBSOD and blame herself, thinking history will repeat itself. |
| 606 | * KungFuWizard: She proves herself to be one in one of the anime's {{Filler}} arcs, claiming to have studied martial arts from her guild, much to Lucy's astonishment. |
| 607 | * LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: As the light to Minerva's dark, Yukino has a friendly personality, has white hair and frequently wears lighter clothing. |
| 608 | * LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: Yukino often loses her boots during her battles. They get seared off by lava in the Palace of Hades, and they're later removed by the enemy on two separate occasions: once in ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'', and the other at the hands of Bloodman's squad. |
| 609 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She has silvery white hair, and is a talented magic user. |
| 610 | * NiceGirl: Being nice and kindhearted is her defining trait, and she Saber Tooth's TokenGoodTeammate before they reformed. |
| 611 | * NumberTwo: She becomes Arcadios's right-hand woman when she joins the Holy Knights as a member of his Eclipse Plan. At least until she leaves to rejoin Saber Tooth. |
| 612 | * OhCrap: She realizes what Saber Tooth plans to do to her the moment Kagura defeats her in the Grand Magic Games. |
| 613 | * ParentalAbandonment: Her parents died when Zeref cultists attacked her hometown. |
| 614 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Her battle outfit often keeps her back bared. |
| 615 | * ShamefulStrip: After failing to win against Kagura, Yukino's forced to strip naked and [[InsigniaRipoffRitual erase her guild mark]] in front of her own guildmates as part of her temporary expulsion. |
| 616 | %%* ShipTease: With Sting in ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth''. |
| 617 | * ShrinkingViolet: She is a soft-spoken and submissive girl who treats everyone she speaks to with the utmost respect. |
| 618 | * SixthRanger: She is initially believed to be one of the five strongest members of Saber Tooth until the reveal that she is merely standing in for Minerva. |
| 619 | * SquishyWizard: Being a celestial wizard, a single hit is all it takes for Kagura to take her down. |
| 620 | * SummonMagic: She's a celestial wizard who owns several spirits, including the Zodiac spirits Pisces, Libra, and Ophiuchus. |
| 621 | * TearfulSmile: She begins crying when all the other guilds who participated in the Grand Magic Games begin fighting over her, saying she's never been so happy to have so many people care for her. |
| 622 | * TokenGoodTeammate: She is at least the only member of Saber Tooth shown not to be a {{Jerkass}} on any level, at least until Sting and Rogue reform it. |
| 623 | * TraumaButton: In ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'', a dark guild threatens to remove her guild mark. She understandably freaks out over this, given how Ziemma did this to her before. |
| 624 | * UncannyFamilyResemblance: She and Sorano have the same hair color, have similar facial features, and wear similar outfits. They are also both celestial wizards. |
| 625 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: It's often hinted that she and Sting are attracted to each other and have a lot of ShipTease moments, but they're both too oblivious to do anything about it. |
| 626 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: She wants Zeref dead for what his worshipers did to her family, and she willingly participates in the Eclipse Plan despite [[ButterflyOfDoom the ramifications it could have on the timeline]]. Unfortunately, it's actually a cover for the Eclipse 2 Project, which Yukino is uninvolved in. |
| 627 | %%* WhenSheSmiles: Usually seen frowning, she has a rather endearing and timid smile. |
| 628 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Once Ziemma feels Yukino's failed to uphold Saber Tooth's ideals after her loss to Kagura, he has her undergo an InsigniaRipoffRitual and expels her. |
| 629 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Mirajane states that Yukino has a lot in common with Lisanna. The similarity is lampshaded by Lisanna herself, who points out they're both "little sister" figures with short, white hair. |

| 633 | !!Rufus Lore |
| 634 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TsubasaYonaga (Japanese), Seth Magill (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Jean-Pierre Leblan (French)[[/note]] |
| 635 | [[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_rufus_anime.png]] |
| 636 | |
| 637 | A calm and analytical wizard who tends to speak poetically. He uses a rare form of Maker Magic called Memory Make, which lets him weave various unique spells from magic he has memorized. |
| 638 | ---- |
| 639 | * AbilityMixing: Memory Make's most devastating ability is to take the various spells he's memorized and then combine them into new ones, even if they're completely different magic types. For instance, he combines Olga's [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] with Gray's [[AnIcePerson Ice Make]] to create the "Sword of Frozen Black Lightning". |
| 640 | * AchillesHeel: His memorization powers doesn't mean squat if the opponents' actions are too fast for him to memorize. |
| 641 | * AntagonistAbilities: His Memory Make gives him the ability to copy and cancel any kind of spell he sees and memorises, giving him an almost unfair advantage in a fight. |
| 642 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: His magic allows him to analyze opponents right down to their heartbeats. |
| 643 | * BadassBookworm: He's found by Gray reading a book in the middle of the final match, no doubt looking for new tricks to memorize. [[AdaptationExpansion The anime]] also sees him gaining an entire arsenal of new spells by insta-reading entire shelves of books. |
| 644 | * BeamSpam: His Night of Falling Stars spell sends beams of [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] that rain down on his opponents. |
| 645 | * CatchPhrase: He often says that he's "memorized" something, or that he "has no memory of" anything he isn't familiar with. |
| 646 | * DominoMask: He's always wearing a red domino mask. It adds to his dashing rogue-bard look. |
| 647 | * DoppelgangerSpin: His Memory Make allows him to make intangible copies of himself. |
| 648 | * ElementalPowers: He can "memorize" certain elemental spells and use them against his opponents. So far he has used a [[ShockAndAwe shower of thunderbolts]], a [[PlayingWithFire stream of flames]], and some [[BlowYouAway tornadoes]], as well as copying Gray's own [[AnIcePerson Ice Make]] and Libra's [[GravityMaster gravity magic]]. |
| 649 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He clearly did not expect Ziemma to try and kill Lector for having a guild mark, and looked quite shocked when he did. |
| 650 | * EvilCounterpart: To Gray. Both are maker wizards who rely on skill and creativity compared to their comrades who tend to rely on power. |
| 651 | * FragileSpeedster: He is also quite acrobatic, still goes down quickly once he gets hit. |
| 652 | * GlassCannon: His Memory Make grants him access to a near-infinite combination of memorized spells for devastatingly powerful results, but after Gray overcomes this, it takes but two attacks to bring him down. |
| 653 | * GracefulLoser: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He accepts his defeat and commits it to memory to ensure it will never happen again, but only because he's certain his opponents stand no match against Minerva. |
| 654 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: His magic is essentially imitation of magic he's seen from other wizards. Gray overwhelms his memorization skills by making dozens of ice weapons at once, essentially imitating Erza. |
| 655 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: To go with his elegant bard motif. He's even noted in his profile to greatly resemble Fried, Fairy Tail's own resident LongHairedPrettyBoy. |
| 656 | * OhCrap: He's finally broken out of his delusion of superiority when Gray produces too many ice weapons at once for him to memorize, [[DeerInTheHeadlights leaving him wide open for an attack]]. |
| 657 | * PhlebotinumOverload: Gray gets the upper hand against him by making hundreds of different ice weapons in the blink of an eye, far faster than Rufus's Memory Make can keep up with. |
| 658 | * PowerCopying: His Memory Make gives him the power to copy any spell he memorizes and use them to create new spells of his own. This also includes combining spells of differing attributes, such as Gray's ice with Olga's lightning. |
| 659 | * PuzzleBoss: The manner of his loss to Gray on the final day of the [[TournamentArc Grand Magic Games, once Gray figures out he only needed to basically fast-forward his attacks on Rufus.]] |
| 660 | * RedBaron: He's introduced in the Grand Magic Games as "The [[TheBard Troubadour]] Who Sings to the Red Moon." |
| 661 | * ReverseArmFold: He frequently has two of his arms folded behind his back, giving him a graceful and confident bearing. |
| 662 | * SecretArt: Memory Make is described as one of the Ancient Spells, which aren't all that far off from the incredibly rare and powerful Lost Magics. |
| 663 | * ShapingYourAttacks: Like other Maker Magic, his magic gives shape to his own memories. |
| 664 | * SignatureHeadgear: He always wears a fancy hat with a big, pink plume, to illustrate his pompous personality. Gray snatches it from him when he beats him, but he gets another identical one later. |
| 665 | TheSmartGuy: He fulfills this role after Saber Tooth's HeelFaceTurn, due to his analytical skills. |
| 666 | * SmugSmiler: He almost always wears a smirk in battle, as he's that confident no one can beat him. [[OhCrap He drops it]] the moment he realizes Gray will be the first. |
| 667 | * SuperpowerLottery: Being able to copy any spell he remembers, track people's precise movements right down to their heartbeats, and make them forget their own skills is about as broken a power that you can get. So much so, in fact, that Mavis--one of the greatest military strategists of her time--predicts a low probability rate that he can actually be defeated. |
| 668 | * WarriorPoet: He gives his attacks big, fanciful names like "Night of Shooting Stars" or "Karma of the Burning Earth". |

| 671 | [[folder:Orga Nanagia]] |
| 672 | !!Orga Nanagia |
| 673 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Masafumi Kimura (Japanese), Leo Fabian (English) |
| 674 | [[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_olga_anime.png]] |
| 675 | |
| 676 | A meatheaded Lightning God Slayer who uses high-voltage black lightning, beating out the rest of his guild in terms of raw magical power. |
| 677 | ---- |
| 678 | * AnimeHair: Spiky, runs down to the small of his back, and is a mint green color. |
| 679 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Unlike Sherria, he plays the AGodAmI personality of having God Slayer magic straight. He also thinks he can take on Jura single-handedly by tricking him into taking his most powerful shot. [[CurbStompBattle Jura dodges right past it and slams his head down into the pavement.]] |
| 680 | * TheBigGuy: He fills this role in Saber Tooth after the guild reforms, being the strongest in terms of raw magical power, but lacking in pretty much every other department. |
| 681 | * DreadfulMusician: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] [[PlayedForLaughs purely for laughs]]. It's because of his [[StylisticSuck terribad singing]] that he's so popular. |
| 682 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Neither he nor Rufus are smiling when Lector is seemingly killed. |
| 683 | * EvilCounterpart: For Laxus, as a Lightning God Slayer, compared to Laxus being a Lightning Dragon Slayer. |
| 684 | * FacialMarkings: Most of the time he wears four vertical stripes painted on his chin. During the last day of the Grand Magic Games, he has a horizontal stripe across his nose. |
| 685 | * GentleGiant: Post-HeelFaceTurn, Orga is quite a big sweetheart who warmly welcomes Natsu, Happy and Lucy when they visit their guild. |
| 686 | * InconsistentSpelling: There are some fan translations who spell his name as "Olga". |
| 687 | * KamehameHadoken: His two named spells, 120mm Black Lightning Cannon and Lightning God's Charged Particle Cannon, are charged and fired in this manner. The main difference is that the former is a smaller sphere that fits between his hands and shows his lightning colored in yellow-black, while the later is large enough to engulf his forearms before firing and is pure black in color (though this might simply be a difference in two anime's color design choices). |
| 688 | * KindHeartedCatLover: The "kindhearted" part is debatable, but his profile states that he likes watching Lector and Frosch in the hopes of playing with them. ''Twin Dragons of Saber Tooth'' even shows him getting angry at Sting for accidentally upsetting Frosch. |
| 689 | * KungFuWizard: Though he prefers to fire KamehameHadoken electric beams, Orga shows during his brief clash with Laxus that he can also channel his Lightning God Slayer Magic through his limbs for physical strikes. |
| 690 | * LaserGuidedKarma: On the first day of the Grand Magic Games, he takes down an opponent with [[OneHitKO a single blow]] to establish Saber Tooth as the number one guild. On the last day, he himself gets taken out the same way by a superior opponent. |
| 691 | * MightyGlacier: He boasts having the greatest offensive strength out of his entire guild, and his stats and muscular build suggest he's no slouch in the defensive department, either (not that this saves him from a OneHitKO inflicted by a wizard of over twice his strength). He also moves about as fast as a stationary boulder in battle. |
| 692 | * MythicalMotifs: Gods, being a God Slayer. |
| 693 | * OhCrap: When Jura crashes his fight against Laxus, though he composes himself long enough to try and taunt Jura into taking his attack. In a hilarious contrast, Laxus is quite excited to fight against the Wizard Saint. |
| 694 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: His Lightning God's Charged Particle Cannon completely ''vaporized'' a clear hole through the building it struck when he used it against Jura. Jura notably didn't tank it like Orga tried to gamble but instead simply dodged to the side. |
| 695 | * PetTheDog: Somewhat. His character profile later mentions that he secretly wishes Lector and Frosch would play with him, which perhaps explains why he is so shocked when Ziemma apparently kills Lector. |
| 696 | * ShockAndAwe: He's a Lightning God Slayer who uses black lightning to fire beams of condensed electricity at his enemies. |
| 697 | * SmugSnake: While this applies to Saber Tooth as a whole in the Grand Magic Games, he exemplifies this better than the rest, acting like he's the strongest guy around and making light of people like Laxus and Jura. He ends up getting beaten in a single hit by Jura and goes on to be the only member of Saber Tooth who didn't get a proper climatic fight. |
| 698 | * SoreLoser: He's the only one besides Obra who doesn't compliment Erza for her performance in the third day's challenge, and looks quite upset after his [=MPF=] score is broken by Jura and Cana. He drops this attitude when Jura soundly beats him fair and square. |
| 699 | * TheStoic: Orga noticeably doesn't talk much save for the requisite trash-talking of a Saber Tooth elite, and his expression tends to default to neutral save for the few times he grins in anticipation of a good fight. |
| 700 | * UnskilledButStrong: He's the most powerful Saber Tooth wizard in terms of raw magical power, but nearly all of his attacks consist of unloading a single blast of magic on an opponent and hoping it hits. This costs him dearly when [[LightningBruiser Jura]] comes along. |
| 701 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: He's never seen wearing a shirt except during the Grand Magic Ball. |
| 702 | * TheWorfEffect: He's introduced one-shotting Warcry from Quattro Cerberus without any effort. He then scores a then-unheard-of quadruple-digit score in the [[PowerLevels MPF]] contest to show just how powerful he is. On the final day of the games, he gets [[CurbStompBattle one-punch KO'd by Jura]] (whose own [=MPF=] score was more than twice Olga's) when he tries to take him head-on, and with Jura [[TheWorfBarrage easily dodging one of Olga's strongest attacks]] to do so. |
| 703 | * WorthyOpponent: He comes to view both Jura and Laxus as this with Saber Tooth's loss. His profile later mentions he is training for a rematch with them. |

| 709 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dobengal.png]] |
| 710 | |
| 711 | A wizard who ranks within the top ten strongest members of Saber Tooth. |
| 712 | ---- |
| 713 | * AdaptationExpansion: His "fight" with Natsu in the manga isn't even a fight, getting knocked aside within a single panel of his introduction. The anime gives him a chance to show off his skills, though it still doesn't even last a minute. |
| 714 | * AscendedExtra: Downplayed. He gets a little more screentime in the anime and ''Twin Dragons'' spin-off, but he's still a minor character. |
| 715 | * CoolMask: Fitting for a ninja wizard. |
| 716 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: He has brown hair and eyes. |
| 717 | * EliteMook: He's said to be among Saber Tooth's top 10, but not good enough to be on the tournament team. |
| 718 | * InconsistentSpelling: It's "Dobengal" in the anime dub. |
| 719 | * InformedAbility: He's stated to be one of the strongest members of Saber Tooth, but Natsu knocks him across the room with an OffhandBackhand without even trying. He lasts a little bit longer in the anime, though it hardly does him any good. |
| 720 | * LaserBlade: In the anime, he fights using a rainbow-colored blade of light [[BladeBelowTheShoulder emanating from his hand]]. |
| 721 | * {{Ninja}}: He not only dresses like one, but he also fights like one in the anime. |
| 722 | * OnlySaneMan: In the ''Twin Dragons'' spin-off, he occasionally steps in to move the quirkiness along, usually by quickly telling Minerva what the problem is so it can be solved. |
| 723 | * SuperSpeed: He's shown to be fast enough to perform a FlashStep. |
| 724 | * TheWorfEffect: He's touted as one of Saber Tooth's finest. Natsu bats him away without even looking at him. |
