!!Quatro Cerberus

Quatro Cerberus is one of the legal guilds in Fiore that participates in the Grand Magic Games. It's an eccentric, all-male guild distinguished by a peculiar catchphrase: "Wild Four!"

[[folder:Quatro Cerberus in General]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quarto_cerberus.png]]
* AnimalMotifs: Their guild's theme is distinctly dog-like.
* ButtMonkey: They're so lame, Mashima doesn't even bother to give [[AllThereInTheManual character profiles]] to any of them besides Bacchus, instead just lumping them into one page and listing their powers and traits as "various". Not to mention their pathetic performance record in the Grand Magic Games: they only win one event; obtain low scores in the rest; are usually the first ones to be defeated in each event; get [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] [[TheWorfEffect just to show how strong the heroes' opponents are]]; and ultimately end up taking last place in the tournament. Even worse, they only show up in one panel after heeding Ichiya's call to arms across Fiore... only to never be seen throughout the entire [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]] until they show up again to provide their magic power for Lucy's Fairy Sphere to trap Acnologia in the finale.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "Wild Four!", which is changed in the English dub to, "We're wild!"
* TheChewToy: Their only purpose in the story is to serve as CannonFodder in a WorldOfBadass.
* CollaredByFashion: Most members wear spiked dog collars.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: In the anime, Bacchus and Rocker have a friendly drinking contest with Fairy Tail after losing to Elfman and being renamed "[[EmbarrassingNickname Quatro Puppy]]".
* DumbMuscle: All of the members participating in the Grand Magic Games have low stats in intellect with the exception of the guild master Goldmine, and possibly Bacchus.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Elfman and Bacchus make [[TheBet a bet]] during the Grand Magic Games that if Elfman wins, then Quatro Cerberus will be renamed "[[FluffyTheTerrible Quatro Puppy]]" for the rest of the tournament. And win Elfman does.
* HotBlooded: They are nothing if not passionate about fighting.
* InconsistentSpelling: Del Rey, Kodansha, and Funimation use the Portuguese spelling "Quatro", although Kodansha eventually takes to using the Italian spelling "Quattro". Meanwhile, it's written in the anime as "Kerberos", which is closer to the Greek and Japanese spelling.
* LargeHam: Their catchphrase somewhat resembles a dog howling.
* MythicalMotifs: Cerberus, the three headed guard dog of the underworld, fitting with their dog theme.
* TestosteronePoisoning: The guild is made up entirely of muscular, headstrong men who are passionate about being "manly". When inviting Yukino to the guild, they comment that she'd be a "[[TheSmurfettePrinciple lone flower]]".
* TheWorfEffect: Their general role in the Grand Magic Games is to showcase their opponent's strength by getting their asses kicked.

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goldmine-ftanime_5701.jpg]]

Goldmine is the master of Quatro Cerberus and an old friend of Makarov's.
----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: A minor, non-villainous example. He and Makarov are simply friends in the manga, but in the anime, he's a former Fairy Tail member who was on Makarov's old team along with Bob, Porlyusica, Yajima, and Rob.
* CollaredByFashion: A spiked dog collar.
* CoolShades: Never seen without them.
* MrExposition: He's one of the first characters to explain who Zeref is and what kind of impact he left on the world.

!!Bacchus Glowe
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenjiroTsuda (Japanese), Chris Hury (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Jochen Hägele (French)[[/note]]
[[quoteright:189:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_bacchus_anime.png]]

Bacchus is Quatro Cerberus' strongest wizard. He is renowned for inventing his own unique martial art known as Drunk Pigua Quan. By combining this with magic that focuses power in his palms, as well as his habit of drinking himself silly, he becomes a force to be reckoned with.
----
* TheAce: He is the strongest member of Quatro Cerberus, and the only one to actually ''win'' an event in the Grand Magic Games.
* TheAlcoholic: Not only does he cement himself as the biggest drinker in the entire series by drinking Cana (who can drink ''dozens of barrels'' worth of liquor without getting drunk) under the table and still being able to walk it off, it's also key to making him [[DrunkenMaster the best fighter in his guild]].
* BareFistedMonk: He's a wizard who specializes in hand-to-hand combat. Elfman uses this to his advantage with his Lizardman Takeover, damaging Bacchus' hands with his rough hide.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "My soul is shaking."
* DrunkenMaster: He invented his own fighting style based on real-life DrunkenBoxing and Pigua Quan ("Chop-Hanging Fist"). As if he weren't dangerous enough when sober, he becomes nightmarishly fast and flexible when he's actually drunk.
* FacialMarkings: He sports a row of spots beneath each eye.
* GracefulLoser: Upon losing to Elfman, he calls Elfman a "real man" and collapses with a huge grin on his face. He even takes his guild being renamed "Quatro Puppy" in stride.
* TheHedonist: He revels in a life of drinking good liquor and bedding hot women, usually more than once.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His attacks, delivered with his bare hands, are devastating to Elfman. However, when the latter turns into his hard-skinned Lizardman form, Bacchus' unprotected hands moving at high speed get damaged by the scales.
* InformedAbility: He's stated to be in the same league as Erza (at least pre-{{Timeskip}}) and she herself acknowledged that all her past battles against him were inconclusive. His fight against Elfman seems to back this up given how easily he's winning before Elfman is forced to turn the fight into a VictoryByEndurance stamina match, but his later fight with Ichiya (only knocking him around before being taken out in one hit via [[GrowingMusclesSequence Power Parfum]]) and the "fight" with Sting (taken out in one surprise attack from behind) later puts that into doubt.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a rude pervert, as he takes Cana's top as a reward after beating her in a drinking contest, and proclaims that if he wins his battle against Elfman, he'll spend a night alone with ''both'' his sisters. However, he does seem to have some good traits, such as honestly congratulating Elfman for beating him during their fight, and also being good natured about honoring his bet to rename his guild if he lost.
* KungFuWizard: He's not just a wizard, but he's also a master martial artist who invented his own style of DrunkenBoxing.
* LightningBruiser: He's so fast he can hit a target seven times in a row with what seems to be a single dash.
* MeaningfulName: Bacchus is named after the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Roman god]] of wine and drunkenness.
* PowerPalms: His magic concentrates magic power into his palms, making his strikes incredibly devastating.
* TheRival: He used to be one for Erza before the TimeSkip, though their rivalry is never developed beyond a mere mention, and they never face each other in combat.
* SpiritedCompetitor: His reaction to Elfman pulling out a technique that could give him an honest challenge was to grin and compliment him. He seemed outright bored while he was winning the match without even trying.
* TrueCompanions: He admits he originally had no intention of competing in the games and just wanted to get drunk and "sample the local color" during the festivities, but watching Warcry get [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by Olga and seeing the guild get turned into a laughing stock on the first day motivated him to join in as a reserve member to maintain the guild's honor.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His outfit leaves most of his muscular torso exposed, instead covering his arms and shoulders with dark blue armor plates.
* TheWorfEffect: He was brought into the Grand Magic Games just to give Quatro Cerberus a fighting chance, and he poses a legitimate challenge to Fairy Tail. This doesn't last past his battle with Elfman; after he loses, the worfing begins with him getting one-shotted by Ichiya (''the'' biggest ButtMonkey in the series) on day four, and getting taken out early by Sting on day six.

!!Rocker
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Eiji Miyashita (Japanese), Brian Witkowicz (English)
[[quoteright:176:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_rocker_anime.png]]

Rocker is a wizard whose Drill 'n Rock lets him spin parts of his body like a drill.
----
* AnimeHair: Rocker has two huge spikes of hair, which also count as ExpressiveHair.
%%* BigOlEyebrows
* DefeatMeansFriendship: In the anime, Rocker has a friendly drinking contest with Fairy Tail after losing to them on the second day of the Grand Magic Games.
* HellBentForLeather: Wears a leather jacket.
* HotBloodedSideburns: He's certainly the most passionate of the group, and he has sideburns to match.
* KungFuWizard: He uses FullContactMagic, turning his limbs into drills.
* TheOneGuy: During the Naval Battle of the Grand Magic Games, he's the sole male in a match filled with women.
* ThisIsADrill: Rocker's Drill 'n Rock allows him to turn his body parts into drills.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Creator/MarcusDStimac (English)
[[quoteright:306:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_warcry_anime.png]]

Warcry is a wizard whose Tear Magic lets him boost his own strength by crying.
----
* BerserkerTears: Inverted; it's ''because'' he cries that he's able to go berserk. However, he's defeated by Olga before he can demonstrate his magic.
* InformedAbility: His magic is supposedly more powerful than it seems as even Sting compliments it, but he's annihilated in one hit before he can even show off his strength.
* InelegantBlubbering: His tears are always quite messy.
* MeaningfulName: Warcry cries in order to fight.
* NemeanSkinning: He wears a dog skin, making him the only member of Quattro Cerberus to wear anything dog-related besides a spiked collar.
* OcularGushers: It's an effect of his tear magic.
* SwissArmyTears: His tear magic boosts his power the harder he cries. This does him jack squat against ''actually'' powerful people.

!!Yeager
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Eiji Sekiguchi (Japanese), Chris Ryan (English)
[[quoteright:283:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_yeager_anime.png]]

Yeager is a muscular wizard who can summon giant plants to fight.
----
* GreenThumb: Yeager can instantly summon plants and spiked vines with his magic.
* HiddenDepths: Mentions in the Grand Magic Games he played hide and seek a lot as a kid.
* ManEatingPlant: One of his attacks lets him summon them.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: He's never seen putting those rock-hard abs to any use, only fighting with (and getting trounced by) magic.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He doesn't wear anything on his upper body except his collar.
* VerbalTic: "Dah."

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Masaki Kawanabe (Japanese), Patrick [=McAlister=] (English)
[[quoteright:162:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_nobarly_anime.png]]

Nobarly is a nondescript wizard with no particular power to speak of.
----
* BadassesWearBandanas: He fails to live up to the "badass" part, but he sure wears a bandanna.
* ButtMonkey: He's probably the biggest one in a whole guild full of them; we never even see the guy's magic!
* GagNose: His most distinguishing trait is his long, pointed nose.
* InconsistentSpelling: Kodansha alternatively spells his name as "Novali".
* InformedAbility: His official Grand Magic Games stats peg him as having moderately good defense with average strength and speed. Not that this does him a lick of good in the tournament.
* SleevesAreForWimps: He's a manly guy with no sleeves, though that hardly makes him tougher.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Semmes]]
!!Semmes
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Devin Pike (English)
[[quoteright:313:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_semmes_anime.png]]

Semmes is a large wizard who looks and acts like a robot.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: The anime is the only place where Semmes gets any action, or a speaking role for that matter; the manga simply skips to the end of his fight with Millianna, who utterly dominates him.
* TheBigGuy: The largest of his team, but also the slowest and the less bright according to his stat chart.
* InconsistentSpelling: In a later chapter, Kodansha spells his name as "Sems".
* MightyGlacier: According to the official Grand Magic Games stats he's given, Semmes has maxed out offense and defense, but pitifully low speed. The anime, however, turns him into a LightningBruiser.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: There certainly aren't any other characters who look like a robot.
* RoboSpeak: He has a robotic voice in the Japanese version of the anime.
* SpinAttack: The anime gives him an attack called Wild Spin that turns him into a living spinning top, making him hard to stop or even approach due to the reach of his arms.
* TopHeavyGuy: In the anime. In the manga he's a little more round.
* TheVoiceless: Semmes never utters a single word on his own in the manga, except his guild's catchphrase of "Wild Four!" alongside everyone else. It's averted in the anime.

!!Phantom Lord
Phantom Lord is a guild formed by the wizard Geoffrey in X686. Over the years, it becomes the single most powerful guild in Fiore before Fairy Tail rises to prominence. In X784, 98 years after the guild's formation, Fairy Tail officially declares war on Phantom Lord after years of tensions when the former's guildhall is destroyed. In the aftermath of the guild war, Phantom Lord is disbanded by the Magic Council for breaking the non-aggression rule between guilds.

[[folder:Phantom Lord in General]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phantom_lord.png]]
* ArchEnemy: To Fairy Tail, whose rivalry with Phantom Lord comes to a head when the latter destroys their guildhall at the beginning of the [[Recap/FairyTailPhantomLordArc Phantom Lord arc]].
* ArcVillain: The guild is responsible for all of the danger in their titular arc and Fairy Tail's main goal is to stop them from becoming the top-ranking guild in Fiore.
* BadassCrew: Although some of Fairy Tail's strongest members eventually won the war quite easily, it is undoubted that at that time, Phantom Lord was a serious contender for the strongest guild in Fiore before Fairy Tail took that title. Case in point, their master is officially recognized as one of the strongest wizards on the continent and can nearly match Makarov in a fair fight, while its five S-Class wizards, though not nearly at the same caliber as Erza and Laxus, give the rest of the guild some serious trouble. Not to mention, the combined power of the Element 4 can produce Abyss Break, a devastating spell known to raze entire cities.
* BadSamaritan: They take the same jobs as any other guild like Fairy Tail does, except Phantom members threaten their clients into raising their reward. This bit was removed from the anime.
* DefectorFromDecadence: After the guild's dissolution, Gajeel and Juvia officially defect and join Fairy Tail.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In the anime, several members are disturbed by Gajeel continuing to beat up Lucy and try getting him to stop.
* {{Jerkass}}: The guild is practically a breeding ground for the most despicable wizards you can imagine.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The conclusion of their arc sees their Guild disbanded for good due to their crimes.
* AMechByAnyOtherName: Their guildhall can convert itself into a HumongousMecha called the Phantom [=MkII=], yet everyone refers to it as a "giant wizard".
* MythicalMotifs: Phantoms, having dark attitudes like the creature in question and their leader's magic [[CastingAShadow summon phantom-like creatures]].
* TheRival: They are Fairy Tail's first big, non-dark rival guild before the first TimeSkip. As it turns out, this goes all the way back to the guilds' founding, as Jose's ancestor Geoffrey started it specifically to oppose Fairy Tail.
* ShoutOut: They're named after a Music/{{Metallica}} song.
* SmugSnake: After the stronger wizards in the guild get in a few lucky blows against Fairy Tail, some of the minor members decide to do the same against their rival. That's not even going into the overconfidence Jose, Gajeel and the Element 4 display during their final battles with Fairy Tail.
* WaveMotionGun: The Compressed Magic Cannon, Jupiter, is capable of firing a blast large enough to destroy an entire guild.

!!!Guild Master

[[folder:Jose Porla]]
!!Jose Porla
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Takashi Matsuyama (Japanese), Ed Blaylock (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Frédéric Souterelle (French)[[/note]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jose_porla.png]]

Jose is Phantom Lord's master and one of the Ten Wizard Saints. He has multiple dark powers at his disposal, not the least of which is his Shade magic, which creates ghostly soldiers that fight on his behalf. As Makarov's self-fashioned rival, Jose is jealous of Fairy Tail's quick rise to fame, and jumps at the opportunity to wage a guild war against them.
----
* TheArchmage: Is a Wizard Saint and wields [[CastingAShadow Darkness Magic]] that allows him to summon [[LivingShadow phantom soldiers]]. He's powerful enough that it takes Makarov, a fellow Wizard Saint, using [[HolyHandGrenade Fairy Law]] to defeat him.
* ArcVillain: He's the driving antagonist of the [[Recap/FairyTailPhantomLordArc Phantom Lord arc]], where he's hired by Jude Heartfilia to bring Lucy home unharmed to help his FamilyBusiness, but uses it as his excuse to eliminate Fairy Tail in an all-out war.
* ArtEvolution: When first introduced in the manga, his design looks rather silly and hardly intimidating, apart from a SlasherSmile here and there. However, within a few chapters, his design became more distinct and he ended up looking more badass as a result.
* BadPowersBadPeople: His Shade spell creates countless phantom-like {{Mooks}} that sap the energy of anyone they touch. Not to mention just kicking up his aura makes people feel sick by being near him.
* BigBadWannabe: He fancies himself and his guild to be Fairy Tail's greatest adversarial force, and is hellbent on destroying Fairy Tail and defeating Makarov just to prove who the best is. While he nearly succeeds in the former, he utterly fails in the latter when Makarov schools him. In comparison to later villains, he's hardly a footnote.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes turn black when he fights Makarov in the anime, and good lord are they terrifying.
* CastingAShadow: He specializes in casting dark magic and creating ghostly apparitions using his Shade magic.
* ClassicVillain: He is the first major EvilCounterpart of Fairy Tail's master Makarov, evil with his [[DarkIsEvil dark clothes]] and [[CastingAShadow powers]], and is ultimately thwarted by his [[EvilCannotComprehendGood inability to grasp]] [[TrueCompanions what makes Fairy Tail superior]].
* CurbStompBattle: Jose is in the middle of giving one of these to the majority of Fairy Tail (including Erza) when Makarov shows up to fight him. While it's true the guild was worn down at the time, Jose pushed Fairy Tail to its limits without breaking a sweat and was doing so remotely. It's made all the more impressive by the fact that Erza faces him directly and he practically toys with her. He's on the receiving end from Makarov after he uses Fairy Law; until that point they'd been evenly matched in magical combat.
* DarkIsEvil: He is a specialist in shade magic, has a shadowy purple aura when he shows off his magic power, and is a vengeful, greedy, and most of all dangerous adversary for Fairy Tail. Although, compared to other examples of this trope, he's more cocky and misguided than actually evil and doesn't try to kill anyone.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Even if he ''did'' somehow win the guild war, Jose still broke the law several times over and would've had his guild dismantled anyway.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a gentleman in heart, thus he looks away when Lucy pretends to use a bucket as a toilet. This, however, leads to him suffering a GroinAttack.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He assumes Fairy Tail is protecting Lucy from him simply because of her wealth. It never occurs to him that the guild sees her as one of their TrueCompanions until it is too late.
* EvilCounterpart: To Makarov. Both are Wizard Saints and the respective masters of their guild. Jose is a younger SmugSuper who happily starts wars for [[EvilIsPetty petty reasons]], while Makarov is a much older HumbleHero who only raises his sword to [[AFatherToHisMen protect his "children"]].
* EvilIsPetty: He damages Fairy Tail out of jealousy, and plans to ruin the Heartfilia Konzern, one of Fiore's wealthiest family businesses, because he's afraid said guild is out to monopolize their fortune.
* EvilSorcerer: He's got the standard look of an evil wizard with his hat and cloak, and he exhibits no shortage of pride in his rank as one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
* FatalFlaw: He is done in by his own inability to accept that there is AlwaysSomeoneBetter than him. It drives him to actively undermine Fairy Tail in combat when he starts feeling threatened, and he chooses to gloat over his own superiority when Makarov offers him the chance to surrender peacefully. In the end, this costs him his victory, his prestige, and his entire guild.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He wears a thin facade of politeness that crumbles away at the smallest nudge.
* GreenEyedMonster: Though he denies it has anything to do with his motivations, he's [[DrivenByEnvy clearly jealous of Fairy Tail's rise to fame and wants to stamp his rivals out once and for all]].
* GroinAttack: He's subjected to this. When Lucy pretends to use bucket as a toilet, Jose, being the gentleman he is, turns his back to her and closes his eyes. Lucy uses the chance to kick him in the balls and escapes.
* {{Guyliner}}: Wears purple lipstick.
* LightDarknessJuxtaposition: His duel with [[LightIsGood Makarov]] in a nutshell.
* MadeOfIron: Zig-zagged, Jose easily shrugs off having his shoulder pierced by an attack from Makarov , counterattacking instantly, but cannot stand against a full blast from Fairy Law, nor after receiving an attack straight to the gonads.
* ManlyFacialHair: Has a thin horseshoe moustache, and is a [[TheArchmage Wizard Saint]].
* MasterOfIllusion: Jose can create very lifelike illusions, enough that even Makarov is fooled into thinking they’re real. Jose mainly uses these to communicate with his guildmates however.
* TheMinionMaster: His Shade Soldiers are magically created phantoms that are plentiful in number, show no signs of fatigue, sap the strength from anyone they touch, and are [[WeHaveReserves perfectly expendable]].
* MythicalMotifs: Phantoms, even moreso than his guild. His [[CastingAShadow magic]] not only lets him summon an army of Shade Soldiers, but even his appearance and personality evoke them, being rather pale and thin and a ruthless adversary towards Fairy Tail.
* NoodleIncident: Jose's personal grudge with Makarov began with an event that [[CantHoldTheirLiquor somehow involved alcohol]].
* ObviouslyEvil: A wizard's hat and bat wings are just the start.
* OhCrap: When he sees Makarov invoke Fairy Law.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His magic has a purple aura, and he is powerful enough that it takes Makarov using [[HolyHandGrenade Fairy Law]] to defeat him.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Jose is the guildmaster of a Guild, a Wizard Saint (one of the ten strongest wizards on the continent) and the only way to take him out is by sending in [[CombatByChampion another Wizard Saint to fight him]].
* TheRival: He sees himself as one to Makarov and Fairy Tail as a whole, but goes to extremes that paint him as a fully blown villain.
* SmugSuper: Wizard Saints only get registered if the Magic Council recognizes their magical talent. Being a Wizard Saint himself, he has every reason to think of himself as one of the best wizards in the kingdom.
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: He tries to obliterate Fairy Tail's guildhall with the magic cannon Jupiter, and later all of Magnolia with [[UnholyNuke Abyss Break]], just because he wants them to hand over a girl and use money she doesn't have.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He believed himself to be just as strong or stronger than Makarov. He was wrong. '''Dead wrong'''.
* VillainousBreakdown: Jose loses it when his plans to destroy Fairy Tail fail and he's at Makarov's mercy.
* VillainousLineage: His ancestor Geoffrey was master of the dark guild Blue Skull, which annihilated the wizard guild that Mavis Vermillion was a part of before she founded Fairy Tail. Geoffrey himself went on to found Phantom Lord after Mavis's team defeated him.
* VillainRespect: Jose is openly impressed with Erza and comments that if she hadn't been injured before facing him, their fight might've been epic. Too bad for her it only infuriates him that someone that strong is in the guild he hates the most.
* WeHaveReserves: Downplayed in the case of his Shade Soldiers. Since they're magic constructs with no minds of their own, they can easily be caught in the crossfire with any major attack thrown at Fairy Tail with zero repercussions.
* WeakenedByTheLight: His Shade Magic is implied to be this, which puts him at a disadvantage against Makarov, who mainly uses that kind of magic.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Makarov bemoans how someone as young and powerful as Jose could have become a good role model for the younger generation, rather than the bad one he chose to be.

!!!Element 4

The Element 4 are Phantom Lord's elite team of elemental magic specialists with power equal to that of Fairy Tail's S-Class wizards.

[[folder:Element 4 in General]]
* BackForTheFinale: They make a brief appearance in the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]] to lend Lucy their magic power and seal Acnologia within Fairy Sphere.
* ClassicalElementsEnsemble: Each member uses magic based on one of the four classical Western elements: Aria uses [[BlowYouAway Airspace magic]], Juvia uses [[MakingASplash Water magic]], Sol uses [[DishingOutDirt Earth and Sand magic]], and Totomaru uses [[TechnicolorFire Rainbow]] [[PlayingWithFire Fire magic]].
* TheDreaded: They are widely known and feared throughout Fiore for their powers and abilities, to the point that even Simon, someone who has spent most of his life building the Tower of Heaven and has rarely been in contact with the outside world, recognizes Juvia as part of the group.
* EliteFour: They are the strongest team in their guild, and their magic is required to cast the UnholyNuke Abyss Break.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: Juvia is the only female of the group, and the only one to have a full HeelFaceTurn.
* MeaningfulName: They're a ClassicalElementsEnsemble named "Element 4". It doesn't get much simpler than that.
%% * QuirkyMinibossSquad: They serve as this for the [[Recap/FairyTailPhantomLordArc Phantom Lord arc]].
* ThemeNaming: Each of the Element 4 is named after their respective elements, [[OddNameOut except for]] [[PlayingWithFire Totomaru]]: "Aria" is [[GratuitousItalian Italian]] for "[[BlowYouAway air]]"; "Juvia" is derived from ''lluvia'', the [[GratuitousSpanish Spanish]] word for "[[MakingASplash rain]]"; and "Sol" is [[GratuitousFrench French]] for "[[DishingOutDirt soil]]".

!!Aria
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Katsui Taira (Japanese), Chris Rager (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Benoît Alemane (French)[[/note]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aria_3.png]]

Aria is the blindfolded leader of the Element 4 who constantly cries over everything. He uses a special form of air magic called ''Kuki''[[note]]Airspace[[/note]] that allows him to drain his opponents' magic and strength.
----
* BaldOfEvil: He has a big dome head, and has no trouble stealing the lives of others.
* BlowYouAway: Aria's magic isn't so much "wind" as it is "air".
* TheBrute: Is the most physically imposing of the Element Four, and has powerful [[BlowYouAway Air Magic]] that he uses in a fairly brutal manner.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "It's so sad!"
* CurbStompBattle: Aria at his strongest is [[OneHitKill one-shotted]] by Erza, who was even ''injured'' at the time. Likewise, when he tries to do another sneak attack on Marakov at the end of the arc, Marakov knocks him out with a stretched punch without even looking at him.
* DirtyCoward: The only reason he manages to successfully take out Makarov is because his attention was focused on Jose's threat to kill Lucy. In a straight up fight, he doesn't even stand a chance. The fact that he even tries to pull the exact same cheap shot again after Makarov beats Jose shows just how cowardly he is.
* FatBastard: Overweight and a DirtyCoward working for a guild that kidnapped an innocent girl for ransom, he definitely qualifies for this trope.
* InelegantBlubbering: He's almost always seen crying, and it's never pretty.
* InstantDeathRadius: Those trapped in his ultimate ''Kuki'' spell, Zero, are said to be drained of their lives.
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: He's only able to get the drop on Marakov the first time when Jose threatens Lucy in front of him. He doesn't fall for it a second time.
* MagicalEye: Both of his eyes have an otherworldly glow in the manga, while in the anime, his pupils are split in an X shape. Either way, it's a sign that he's about to go all out when they open.
* ManaDrain: One of his ultimate attacks is called Drain, a bane for any opposing wizard who can't avoid it in time.
* MightyGlacier: Most of his fights consist of him dishing out attacks without moving an inch.
* OcularGushers: His tears gush out from beneath his blindfold.
* PowerLimiter: He wears a blindfold to contain his power. Naturally, he has to take it off when fighting the likes of Erza.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sol.png]]

Sol is the Element 4's Earth Magic specialist. He is a creepy Frenchman who can merge his body with the ground.
----
* BreakThemByTalking: He attempts to do this to Elfman by taunting him over the death of his younger sister Lisanna. The anime combines it with pure MindRape, forcing Elfman to relive his memories of Lisanna's death. It's all for nothing when Elfman's BigBrotherInstinct ([[BigLittleBrother or so to speak]]) kicks in to protect his other sister, Mirajane.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "Non, non, non!"[[note]]No, no, no![[/note]]
* CurbStompBattle: Sol is at the wrong end of it when Elfman activates his Full-Body Takeover.
* DirtyCoward: In the anime, after witnessing Elfman's transformation in a huge monster, he tries to tell him that all that [[MindRape psychological torture]] he put on him was done in order to help him unlock his Takeover, just so he could weasel his way out of a beating. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown It doesn't work]].
* DishingOutDirt: He specializes in earth magic, merging his body into the ground and pummeling his enemies with rocks.
* GratuitousFrench: He speaks with a French accent, drops French phrases, and his attacks all have French names:
** "Sable Danse" (Sand Dance)
** "Roche Concerto" (Rock Concerto)
** "Plâtre Sonate" (Plaster Sonata)
** "Merci la Vie" (Thank Life)
* HighClassGlass: He wears a monocle to symbolize his status as one of Phantom Lord's top-ranking wizards.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite his skinny build, he's easily able to overpower Elfman's human form. Lampshaded by Elfman himself for underestimating his strength.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: He taunts Elfman over his dead little sister while his older sister is being crushed in front of him, which restores Elfman's ability to do a Full Body Takeover.
* OhCrap: He's utterly shocked when Elfman unlocks his Full-Body Takeover.
* RubberMan: He can wrap his entire body around Elfman's arm.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: In the anime, he throws Elfman off his game by forming earth golems that look like Lisanna, who proceeds to insult him for letting her die.
* TakenForGranite: Sol's most powerful spell in the anime, "Merci la Vie", transforms his opponent into rock while additionally forcing said opponent to [[MindRape relive the worst moments of their life]] [[AndIMustScream for all eternity]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Daisuke Endo (Japanese), Creator/JustinCook (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Mark Lesser (French)[[/note]]

Totomaru is the Element 4's Fire Magic specialist. He is a samurai who can control any kind of flame whether it's natural or magical, while his Rainbow Fire magic can conjure multi-colored flames that have different properties.
----
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Totomaru has one, just in case his usual method isn't enough. In the anime, Natsu uses it to shatter the lacrima to the Jupiter cannon he was guarding.
* OddNameOut: His name is the only one that lacks a specific elemental theme like the others. It's also one of the very few character names in the series that's written in full kanji.
* OhCrap: When he finds he can't control Natsu's fire at the height of their battle and prevent him from firing it at the Jupiter cannon's lacrima.
* PlayingWithFire: His control over every manner of fire allows him to turn Natsu's fire attacks against himself. He can also create [[TechnicolorFire rainbow-colored flames]] that [[MagicFire produce different effects]], such as cold blue fire and smelly orange fire. However, a sufficiently powerful fire attack can be beyond his scope to control, if only because controlling it wouldn't make a difference of whether it hits or not.
* RetiredBadass: He becomes a magic teacher after the Time Skip, even teaching Romeo the same magic he uses.
* SoreLoser: He doesn't take losing to Natsu very well to the point that he doesn't mention him in fire magic classes.
* TechnicolorFire: Totomaru's Rainbow Fire magic allows him to wield flames with a variety of effects, each one distinguishable by its color: his Blue Fire spell, for instance, is cold instead of hot, while his Orange Fire has a foul odor.

Cait Shelter is Wendy and Carla's original guild, and one of the four guilds selected to participate in the alliance against Oración Seis. Its members claim to be descended from the Nirvit, an ancient tribe that developed the magic Nirvana; in reality, most of the guild is actually just an illusion created by its master for the sole purpose of caring for Wendy.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cait_shelter.png]]

* AnimalMotif: Cats, being the symbol of the guild.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Despite Wendy being so close to them regardless of whether they were real or not, hardly any mention of them is made for the longest time up until the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]], when she and her team disguise themselves as Cait Shelter members while infiltrating the empire.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: The entire guild is styled after Native American tribespeople.
* TomatoInTheMirror: All of the guild's members realize they're just illusions except for Wendy, who's quite devastated when she learns the truth and everyone vanishes in front of her eyes.

----
* AncientKeeper: Being the creator of Nirvana, he is forced to watch over the sealed magic until someone is able to destroy it.
* TheAtoner: He created the morality-switching Nirvana to end all war and usher in an era of peace. However, it had GoneHorriblyRight as its effects took hold on his own people and led them to slaughter themselves to extinction, leaving himself as the SoleSurvivor. For this, he is willing to get completely obliterated by Nirvana as atonement for creating it.
* BarredFromTheAfterlife: As a ghost, he is unable pass over until the guild alliance destroys Nirvana.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "Nabura!" No one knows what it means.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He demonstrates some peculiar traits, like pouring a glass of milk before drinking right out of the jug, and then speaking without swallowing his drink.
* CoolOldGuy: Despite being dead, he creates ''an entire guild of illusory people'' just to give a little girl a home.
* DeadAllAlong: Once Nirvana is destroyed, he reveals himself to be the spirit of the last remaining Nirvit who was forced to keep watch over the spell.
* InconsistentSpelling: His name is spelled as "Robaul" in the official manga translation, and "Roubaul" by Funimation.
* LargeHam: He randomly screams "NABURA!!!" with gusto.
* LastOfHisKind: He was the SoleSurvivor of the massacre that wiped out the Nirvit people. And that was ''before'' he died.
* MasterOfIllusion: He was able to maintain the illusion of a guild for a full seven years. Jura even comments on how impressive it is for illusions to have their own personalities. Compared to Mavis, who managed to create a single living illusion who thought she was real, this potentially makes him one of the most skilled wizards of this craft in the series.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: He's a very old man with a tiny stature, being just barely taller than Wendy, a 12-year-old girl.
* NotAfraidToDie: When a fully charged Nirvana comes to Cait Shelter's doorstep, he decides to calmly FaceDeathWithDignity if it means atoning for creating it.

* UnfinishedBusiness: Once Nirvana is destroyed, he passes on to the afterlife and takes his guild with him.

[[folder:Twilight Ogre in General]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twilight_ogre.png]]
* BadSamaritan: They give money to Fairy Tail when it falls into debt, then regularly (often violently) harass them whenever the time comes to pay them back.
* {{Dirty Coward}}s: They are fully willing beat Fairy Tail up for not paying their debts, only for them to try and scurry away when Fairy Tail's strongest wizards return to pay them back for all the misery they cause.
* {{Jerkass}}: Twilight Ogre's members are complete jerks to Fairy Tail's guild members.
* KarmicButtMonkey: [[BigGood Makarov]], [[FireForgedFriends Erza, and Mirajane]] pay them back seven years worth of the same abuse they put Fairy Tail through with a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
* MovingTheGoalposts: Mira notes that the ledgers denoting what Fairy Tail owes them and the interest on the loan seem to be "odd" with the pluses and minuses, implicitly suggesting Twilight Ogre has been cooking the books and forcing them to pay much more than what they actually owe.

Banaboster is Twilight Ogre's master.
----
* BullyingADragon: When Makarov first comes over to the guild, he seems to be fully willing to settle things peacefully if possible, but Banabooster spends the entire meeting angry, yelling and threatening him for apparently trying to weasel out of "paying what he owes". It never seems to occur to him threatening a [[TheArchmage Wizard Saint]] with a known record of being a PapaWolf and flanked by two [[TheAce S-Class]] wizards isn't a smart move, and he only catches on when Makarov drops all sense of civility and assures him he'll [[ExactWords pay exactly what he's owed]].
* CigarChomper: He's always seen smoking a cigar.
* {{Gonk}}: He's quite unpleasant to look at, especially his bizarrely shaped chin.
* LargeAndInCharge: He throws his huge size around to show others who's boss. Unfortunately for him, Makarov [[SizeShifter easily turns the tables on him]].
* LoanShark: He looks and acts like a mob boss, and gives Fairy Tail a loan they can't possibly expect to pay back. Mira also implies he's been cooking the books and exaggerating what they actually owe as well.
* OhCrap: When he realizes he's pissed off three Fairy Tail wizards you'd hate to have as your enemy.

Raven Tail is a dark guild formed by Makarov's son Ivan specifically to rival Fairy Tail, and works independently from the Balam Alliance. After the TimeSkip, they emerge from the shadows as an official guild to participate in the Grand Magic Games, only to disband shortly after their loss.

[[folder:Raven Tail in General]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raven_tail.png]]
* AnimalMotifs: Each member can be attributed to a certain animal: Ivan's is a raven (he named his guild after this, and is seen with a pet raven at one point in the manga); Obra's is a penguin (he resembles one); Flare's is a wolf (her hair can take the shape of a wolf); Kurohebi's is a snake (his name and appearance); and Nullpudding's is a pufferfish (he can inflate and cover his body with spikes).
* DeliberatelyBadExample: Raven Tail is a downright despicable bunch who loves to KickTheDog for its own sake, making [[NominalHero Saber Tooth]] look like a case of GoodIsNotNice in comparison. This doesn't last when Saber Tooth's master proves to be just as bad.
* EvilCounterpart: To Fairy Tail; they call themselves an "anti-Fairy Tail guild", and their guild's emblem is a cross between Fairy Tail's mark and the letter R.
* ForTheEvulz: Whenever they're not trying to further Ivan's EvilPlan, they still like to KickTheDog for the sake of it.
* HateSink: Not only was Ivan kicked out of Fairy Tail for threatening the safety of its members, leading him to plot revenge on Fairy Tail (to this end, he plans on extracting and selling the lacrima inside his son in spite of the consequences), but his guild blatantly cheats at almost every turn in the first three days of the Grand Magic Games.
* InconsistentSpelling: Uniquely, the guild's name is written out as "'''Raven's''' Tail" in the anime and Animax dub.
* InformedAbility: According to Ivan, the guild was specifically designed to defeat Fairy Tail by exploiting their weaknesses. Judging by how Laxus [[CurbStompBattle single-handedly defeats them all]], one wouldn't think so.
* {{Jerkass}}: They're a completely despicable bunch where [[KickTheDog Kicking the Dog]] and dicking Fairy Tail around are the norm.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After years of trying to help Ivan with his evil plans and getting away with cheating and beating up Fairy Tail in the Grand Magic Games, Raven Tail ''finally'' gets what's coming to them when Laxus defeats his own father in the tournament, getting them disqualified for breaking the rules, and ultimately forcing them to disband.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After spending the Grand Magic Games cheating their way to the top and messing up Fairy Tail's performance in the tournament ForTheEvulz, it all comes back to bite them on the third day when Laxus single-handedly [[CurbStompBattle thrashes the entire guild with a vengeance]], disqualifying Raven Tail from the rest of the tournament and resulting in their dissolution.
* ObviouslyEvil: They're decked out in dark clothes and have a malevolent vibe to them that Mavis can clearly sense. However, simply registering themselves as an official guild is all it takes for them to get into the Grand Magic Games without a fuss.
* TheMole: Gajeel pretends to be a Raven Tail member to spy on them for Makarov.
* PutOnAPrisonBus: At the conclusion of their battle with Laxus in the Grand Magic Games, the Rune Knights take Ivan and the Raven Tail participants into custody for sabotaging other participants. Well, except for Flare and Obra.
* SmugSmiler: A staple character trait for every member is a condescending smile that riles up Fairy Tail every time they see it.
* SmugSnake: At the end of the day, they are no more than a bunch of petty bullies who only manage to thrive in the Grand Magic Games due by cheating and sabotaging other participants. This is clear when Flare is nearly defeated by Lucy without (she only wins due to Obra's interference), and especially when Laxus alone utterly defeats all of the top members of the guild (including Ivan) without sweating.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Despite being massive {{Jerkass}}es who personally hurt and humiliate Fairy Tail during the Grand Magic Games, Raven Tail doesn't necessarily do anything illegal. Flare states after they're disbarred from the games that the worst they ever did was break the tournament's rules, and are able to walk free by the day's end.

!!Ivan Dreyar, a.k.a. Alexei
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Masaharu Sato (Japanese), Bruce Carey (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Eric Peter (French)[[/note]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ivan_dreyar.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Alexei disguise]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alexei.png[[/labelnote]]]]

Ivan is Raven Tail's master, and the son and father of Makarov and Laxus Dreyar, respectively. He is obsessed with finding Fairy Tail's greatest secret and doesn't care who he has to hurt in order to get it. This attitude wound up getting him kicked out of Fairy Tail by Makarov, causing no small amount of resentment between them. He has the power to control shikigami. During the Grand Magic Games, Ivan competes under an alias called Alexei, wearing a full suit of armor to hide his identity.
----
* AbusiveDad: He put a Dragon Slayer lacrima in Laxus as a child because he was so feeble and weak, then planned to remove the lacrima from his body and sell it when it became more powerful, which is implied would have had adverse effects on Laxus.
* AintTooProudToBeg: After his elites fall, Ivan tries guilt-tripping Laxus by bringing up their familial bond to avoid a pounding. Laxus [[ShutUpHannibal ain't having any of that]], and to Ivan's credit when he realizes this he does try to attack in a desperate attempt to defend himself, not that it helps.
* AntagonisticOffspring: He actively defied Makarov for hiding Lumen Histoire from him.
* ArchnemesisDad: He has a special enmity with his son Laxus during the Grand Magic Games, having been an AbusiveDad to Laxus and specifically targeting the guild Laxus loves. They have their climatic showdown halfway through the games, where Laxus ends up beating him ''and'' the rest of Raven Tail.
* ArcVillain: He appears as the main antagonist of ''Fairy Tail Zeref Awakens'' in the game's original story arc, where he runs around turning mages into Lacrimas and schemes to forcibly obtain Dragon Slayer magic from Fairy Tail's four resident Dragon Slayers in order to become one himself and obtain the power of a true dragon, though he's ultimately defeated and manages to escape despite losing the power.
* BadBoss: He violently beats Flare offstage for her poor performance against Lucy due to the fact she needed outside help to win.
* BeardOfEvil: A noticeable black goatee, which fits with his diabolical nature.
* BigBadWannabe: For all his behind-the-scenes scheming to obtain Lumen Histoire and get back at both Fairy Tail in general and his father Makarov specifically, Ivan is a bit player with grand ambitions ''far'' outside his ability to fulfill. He was being played by [[TheMole Gajeel]] since the man first signed on to Raven Tail, and his grand plan involved trying to browbeat his estranged son (who he considered a tool as well) into giving up a secret he wasn't even privy to with threats and physical violence if the former doesn't work. His "anti-Fairy Tail" guild elites are utterly crushed by said son, whom he's reduced to futilely begging mercy from, and of the [[BigBadEnsemble various antagonistic forces]] at the [[TournamentArc Grand Magic Games]] he's the first to go down with the least amount of effort. The big reason he got as far as he did is simply because [[EvenEvilCanBeLoved Makarov deep down had faith he could change his ways on his own]] and so didn't step in earlier.
* BlackSheep: While the Dreyars aren't all quite the finest members of society (the oldest known member being a greedy treasure hunter, and the youngest growing up to be a near total sociopath), most of them prove themselves to be [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold good people at heart]] in the end. Ivan, on the other hand, is the only Dreyar who is shown to be unrepentantly selfish and evil, and the only one to never change his ways. It's also quite telling that he's the only member with black hair, while the other men in his family have all been blonds at one point in their lives.
* CastingAShadow: The anime gives him a few darkness-based spells that he uses on Laxus.
* DarkIsEvil: He's the vilest and greediest of the Dreyar family, and stands out among them with his darker colored hair, skin, and outfit.
* DirtyCoward: He's completely smug when he has his elites at his back and facing down a pissed-off Laxus, but the moment [[CurbStompBattle Laxus proceeds to thrash those elites in seconds]] he's left wetting himself and [[AintTooProudToBeg begging Laxus to show him mercy]] for being his father despite seconds prior having no issue with beating down his own son.
* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Even after their falling out and Ivan scheming Fairy Tail's downfall, Makarov still loves, or at the very least has faith in, his son and hopes that one day he could become a better man. [[ShutUpKirk This only drives Ivan up the wall]].
-->'''Laxus''': Hurts, huh? After everything you've done, the old geezer still managed to have a little faith in you...'cause you're his son.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Judging from his shock when Laxus reveals the truth about Gajeel's true allegiances and the comments of his elites about how "shifty" he was, it apparently never occurred to Ivan that the former Phantom Lord member would value the guild that destroyed his old one and gave him a second chance so much.
* EvilSoundsRaspy: He speaks with a raspy, withered voice. It becomes even raspier when disguised as Alexei.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Similar to his dad and grandfather, "Ivan" and his alter ego "Alexei" both originate as Russian names.
* {{Greed}}: His motivation behind finding Lumen Histoire, or Fairy Heart, a source of infinite magic power that could uproot the very foundations of the magic world. When he found out Fairy Tail was harboring this kind of power in secret, he couldn't help but obtain it for himself.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: He wears a solid gold suit of armor in the Grand Magic Games, and is touted as his team's leader.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He doesn't have any problems setting all of his guild's elites on Laxus, his own son, to get the information he wants. After Laxus [[CurbStompBattle decimates]] said elites, he's begging Laxus not to hurt him because they're father and son.
* InconsistentSpelling: The original English translation by Del Rey spelled his name as "Iwan", a direct transliteration of his Japanese name.
* LecherousLicking: He indulges in a bit of this during his debut appearance in the manga.
* LooseLips: Ivan blabbing the truth about Lumen Histoire to the rest of Raven Tail--including and especially to [[TheMole Obra]]--is almost certainly how Zeref found out about it, eventually setting the stage for the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]].
* MalevolentMaskedMan:
** His Alexei persona wears an intimidating mask, which also serves to hide his identity.
** He goes around with another mask and cloak in ''Fairy Tail Zeref Awakens'' to the point they don't even realize it's him until they defeat his artificial [[{{Weredragon}} dragon transformation]] and he loses the mask.
* MasterOfIllusion: He uses a magical projection of himself to sit in the rafters while he participates in the Grand Magic Games as Alexei. He also uses illusion magic to trick the entire audience (including various powerful mages such as Makarov and Mavis) that he is [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping Laxus]] just so he can have a moment to [[JustBetweenYouAndMe reveal his plans to his son]].
* MissingMom: His mother and (presumably) Makarov's wife is totally absent from the series.
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: From the little bit seen of his magic, he seems to be able to turn souls into ''shikigami'', which are small pieces of paper. He can also use them to cast a KamehameHadoken-like beam.
* PaperMaster: His magic gives him control over [[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} shikigami]], which are mystical paper dolls originating from Japanese folklore.
* PimpedOutCape: He wears a big, flashy cloak draped over his huge shoulder plates in the Grand Magic Games.
* PointyEars: A clear indicator that this guy is bad news.
* ScaryImpracticalArmor: He wears armor designed for the sole purpose of hiding his own identity in the Grand Magic Games. It does not help him in the slightest against [[OneHitKO Laxus's attack]].
* ShutUpKirk: Laxus reasons that Ivan spent the entire TimeSkip waiting to move against Fairy Tail is because deep down, he still cares about Makarov. Ivan doesn't take kindly to this claim at all, saying he was simply waiting for someone who knew about Lumen Histoire to return.
* SmugSmiler: He is almost never seen without a smug grin plastered on his face, at least before his VillainousBreakdown.
* VillainRespect: He's genuinely impressed when Cana is able to use Fairy Glitter, one of the Three Great Fairy Magics.
* VillainousBreakdown: He starts to lose that haughty air of his once he learns from Laxus that Makarov has been studying his guild for quite some time thanks to [[DoubleAgent Gajeel's espionage]]. Things keep going downhill as Laxus [[CurbStompBattle dominates]] his guild's elites right in front of him that by the time Laxus faces him, Ivan's begging his son not to beat him up because they're family.
* VillainousDemotivator: He violently beats Flare for having to be bailed out by Obra in her match against Lucy, and threatens to do so again when she tries to tease Lucy again.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: His eyes are pitch black, like those of a bird.
* CombatPragmatist: Even before it was his turn to fight in the Grand Magic Games--[[ShootTheMedicFirst attacking]] [[TheMedic Wendy]] before the competition even started, and draining Lucy's magic just before [[HopeSpot she can use Urano Metria on Flare]].
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: The Obra known in the Grand Magic Games is just a puppet animated by his pet imp, the real Obra.
* GagNose: His nose is practically a pointed beak.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite aiding Raven Tail during the Grand Magic Games, he receives no punishment. However, this is mainly because he simply escapes arrest and disappears with Zeref during Fairy Tail's victory.
* LetsGetDangerous: He's said by his teammates to only fight well when he's forced to be. And until that happens, aside from his AntiMagic powers, he's pretty weak.
* MarionetteMaster: Implied since Obra controls that puppet body from the outside.
* TheMole: He is secretly affiliated with Zeref, keeping him up to date with the events at the Grand Magic Games. It's implied he's the one who informed him of Lumen Histoire as well.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Before ArtEvolution kicks in, he's shown to have extra arms under his cloak in the manga.
* ParrotPetPosition: Obra sits like this on his own puppet.
%%* PerpetualSmiler:
* RightHandAttackDog: {{Subverted|Trope}}. The small, black imp on his shoulder who does the fighting for him is actually his true self.
* SlasherSmile: The imp's default expression is this.
* TheStoic: Nothing can faze him. Makes sense since he's a puppet.
* TheWorfEffect: {{Justified|Trope}} and {{invoked|Trope}}. Obra decides to go for an awful performance rather than showing his powers, since one of the day's commentators is a member of the Magic Council. Later played straight when Laxus takes him out in one strike before he can use his powers on him, although it could be justified in that Raven Tail was losing anyway and his job was done.
* WouldHurtAChild: He has no problems with assaulting Wendy just before the Grand Magic Games begin.

[[folder:Flare Corona]]
!!Flare Corona
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (Japanese), Creator/AlexMoore (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Isabelle Volpé (French)[[/note]]
[[quoteright:172:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_flare_anime.png]]

Flare is a deranged woman who can change the length and shape of her red hair with her magic, Hair Shower. She was raised by the giants at the Village of the Sun until the latter ran away from home and joined Raven Tail. She develops an obsessive fixation with Lucy and follows her wherever she goes, though her reasons are never quite clear.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: She's implied to be attracted to women, with her obsession with Lucy often being framed as romantic and her offering to use her hair to intimately in Cana's body while bathing.
* TheAtoner: Following Raven Tail's defeat in the Grand Magic Games, Flare decides to pursue Lucy wherever she goes in an effort to atone for her misdeeds.
* AxCrazy: She is ''very'' violent and ''very'' insane during the Grand Magic Games. It's toned down during the [[Recap/FairyTailSunVillageArc Sun Village arc]].
* BackForTheFinale: Flare is seen as one of the many wizards across Ishgal who lend their magic to seal Acnologia away within Fairy Sphere.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** She saves Lucy and Wendy from being sniped during their fight against Sylph Labyrinth in the [[Recap/FairyTailSunVillageArc Sun Village arc]], evening out the numbers for the fight.
** In the anime adaptation of the [[Recap/FairyTailGrandMagicGamesArc Grand Magic Games arc]], she rescues Lucy from an ambush during the final battle before slinking back into the shadows. Since the Ryuzetsu Land chapter [[AdaptationExplanationExtrication never made it into the TV anime]], instead getting a separate OVA adaptation, this is what convinces Lucy that Flare can be trusted.
* BraidsOfAction: {{Inverted|Trope}}. She keeps her extremely long hair braided and tied together behind her back when not fighting and has to [[LettingHerHairDown undo her braids]] in order to use her PrehensileHair magic.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: Despite her [[ButterFace creepy demeanor and appearance]], her large breasts get her to be considered attractive InUniverse. Her chest is further emphasized by the fact a NavelDeepNeckline is present in all her outfits and her Sun Village tattoo is located on the [[IntimateMarks upper part of her right breast]].
* ColorMotif: Red, as she's a redhead, with red eyes and who is always dressed in red clothes.
* CreepyGood: Even after her HeelFaceTurn, she still keeps a limp gait and an empty stare, and her obsession with Lucy nearly reaches StalkerWithoutACrush levels.
* CreepyLonerGirl: She's a mellow and lonely girl who was [[RaisedByTheSupernatural raised by giants]] and thus has [[NoSocialSkills very poor social skills]] and often comes across as a creep. This is not helped by her creepy appearance and posture, with her wide sunken eyes, tilted head, limp gait, and pale skin.
* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Her sunken eyes help her stand out among most other female characters.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] to go with her [[EvilRedhead red hair]].
* DarkActionGirl: She gives Lucy a tough one-on-one fight in the Grand Magic Games before she resorts to cheating.
* DCupDistress: PlayedForLaughs. When she gets [[FountainOfYouth de-aged]] to a child and loses her chest, she's happy she can now "see her feet again".
* DirtyCoward: Not only does she [[WouldHurtAChild resort to threatening a child]] to win a fight, but she gloats over her "victory" after being saved from an attack that otherwise would have beaten her. It's later subverted when she reveals that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she deeply regretted her actions]] and apologizes.
* EvilIsHammy: She seems to enjoy herself a bit too much while torturing Lucy, though not so much when they later fight side by side.
* EvilRedhead: She's more mellow and creepy than most examples, but she's still an unpleasant person who likes to make Lucy suffer. She eventually [[HeelFaceTurn redeems herself]], however.
* FieryRedhead: She has long crimson hair that has a short temper that when triggered turns her into an AxCrazy maniac.
* FlamingHair: Her signature magic Crimson Hair allows her to not only [[PrehensileHair manipulate her long hair at will]] but also to make it burning hot or even set it aflame. She is able to burn right through Lucy's boots, and threatens to replace Lucy's Fairy Tail emblem with the mark of Raven like a branding iron. It's even more evident in the anime, where her hair actually lights on fire.
* TheGadfly: When they meet in Ryuzetsu Land, she tells Lucy she wants payback for their earlier battle, leading Lucy to have some dirty thoughts; Flare then says she's just kidding, and is actually there to apologize. This carries over into the manga's [[Recap/FairyTailSunVillageArc Sun Village arc]], where she jokingly says she was stalking Lucy in secret ever since their last meeting.
* GodivaHair: Her hair is conveniently long enough to cover up all her naughty bits when she makes a surprise appearance in Fairy Tail's bathhouse.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has an X-shaped scar on her shoulder.
* GuestStarPartyMember: She fights alongside Fairy Tail during the [[Recap/FairyTailSunVillageArc Sun Village arc]], since the village turns out to be her home, helping Lucy and Wendy battle the members of Sylph Labyrinth, and later helping to persuade Atlas Flame to save the frozen giants.
* HeelRealization: As a member of Raven Tail with no knowledge of the world, she thinks it's normal to hate and harass Fairy Tail for the sake of it. After Laxus punishes her and the others for the torture they put his guild through, however, Flare recognizes the bad decision she made and cleans up her act, even seeking out Lucy to apologize.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: Being the only known female in Raven Tail, she is also the only one to switch sides after her guild disbands.
* ItsPersonal: She helps Lucy and Wendy fight Sylph Labyrinth and find the Eternal Flame at Sun Village because that's where she was raised.
* LaughingMad: She's a cackling maniac while she mercilessly wails on Lucy. She later proves herself to be a great deal more reserved once Raven Tail disbands, though she still clearly has a few screws loose.
* LimpAndLivid: Her default stance, which compliments her perpetually demented and creepy personality.
* MeaningfulName: Both "flare" and "corona" are words relating to the sun. It makes sense, then, when you consider she was raised in the Village of the ''Sun''.
* MsFanservice: She has a fairly revealing front, a curvaceous figure, and even gets a PublicBathhouseScene where all she has is GodivaHair, though the general idea is spoiled by that creepy gaze of hers.
* NavelDeepNeckline: Her dress has a plunging neckline that reaches her stomach. It helps that her [[IntimateMarks guild tattoo is on her right breast]].
* TheNicknamer: She seems to have a habit of addressing others outside her guild by the color of their hair; so far she has called Lucy "[[DumbBlonde Blondie]]", Wendy "Blue-hair", and Natsu "Cherry-hair". For good measure, she calls herself "[[EvilRedhead Redhead]]".
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Her red hair has the power of the Eternal Flame and she considers it her treasure, so when her hair gets damaged in any way, it immediately sets her off.
* NoSocialSkills: Having been [[RaisedByTheSupernatural raised by giants]], she has little idea how the world works and how to interact with other humans like her. So when she left the village, she was easy prey for a dark guild like Raven Tail to find her and recruit her, then mold her into becoming an AxCrazy DarkActionGirl. She got slightly better after she befriended Lucy.
* OhCrap: She has one when Lucy is about to use Urano Metoria on her, very similar to the one she has later when Alexei threatens to beat her for almost losing.
* PeerPressureMakesYouEvil: She UsedToBeASweetKid, but after joining a guild where hating Fairy Tail and being a {{Jerkass}} are the norm, she has no choice but to follow along or suffer the consequences.
* PetTheDog: After Raven Tail gets beaten by Laxus and disbarred from the Grand Magic Games, Flare personally apologizes to Lucy for her actions during their battle.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Her using her PrehensileHair in the same manner as NaughtyTentacles is alluded to a couple of times, such as her offering to wash Cana in the baths. In the anime adaptation, Lucy even gets a bizarre ImagineSpot of Flare using her hair to restrain her while giving her a ShamefulStrip and twisting her nipples.
* PrehensileHair: Flare's Hair Shower magic allows her to extend her hair to ridiculous lengths and can be manipulated at will, becoming extra durable to the point it blocks most forms of magic and physical attacks. She can additionally [[ShapingYourAttacks change its shape]] and [[FlamingHair set it ablaze]].
* PsychoLesbian: She seems to have a creepy fixation on Lucy after their fight. She also uses her hair to "clean every nook and cranny" of Cana's body.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Speaks with a childish singsong voice and relishes in violence, also having no idea that any of her bad behavior is wrong initially because everyone else around her is doing it. Once she's punished for said behavior, she changes it.
* PsychoticSmirk: Her default expression throughout the Grand Magic Games, demonstrating that there's something rather "off" about her. She starts using [[WhenSheSmiles other kinds of smiles]] when she shows up at Sun Village.
* RaisedByTheSupernatural: She's a human who was raised by the giants of Sun Village since she was a child. That caused her to grow up to have NoSocialSkills as she had no other human to interact with. She eventually left the village when she was older, wanting to meet people like her, but ended up falling in with a bad crowd in Raven Tail. She comes back to her village in the [[Recap/FairyTailSunVillageArc Sun Village arc]] to help them in their time of need.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red eyes and if you ever tick her off, these will be the last thing you'll ever see.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her red dress [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fairytail/images/0/01/Lucy_and_Wendy_listen_to_Flare%27s_story.png/revision/latest?cb=20150425113918 leaves most of her back exposed]].
* SexySlitDress: Her red outfit has a long slit on the side, exposing her legs.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Her Wolf Fang attack turns her PrehensileHair into a wolf.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She claims she's just joking when she says she's been following Lucy since the Grand Magic Games, but she says it with the most unsettling look in her eye.
* TearsOfJoy: She breaks into tears when the giants at her village happily welcome her back home after she'd run away.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's the nicest member of Raven Tail, as well as the only one to get fully redeemed.
* {{Underboobs}}: Her dress barely covers her breasts.
* WeakButSkilled: Her hair magic is not so powerful or impressive in the end compared to that of many other wizards who participate in the tournament, but thanks to her absolute ability and control of it and her additional skills to inflame her hair or detonate them ([[{{Foreshadowing}} a subtle indication that this magic comes from Atlas Flame]]), Flare can prove to be a particularly tough opponent to beat.
* WhenSheSmiles: She replaces her usual PsychoticSmirk with a pretty smile after she helps beat Sylph Labyrinth alongside Lucy and Wendy, and later when she's welcomed home by the giants, which is lampshaded by Lucy.
* WouldHurtAChild: She threatens to harm young Asuka to keep Lucy from fighting back in their match. However, it's later implied that [[PeerPressureMakesYouEvil her guild put her up to it]].
* ZombieGait: While she's not a zombie, she does have the limp gait and tilted head posture often associated with them, making her look creepy enough to fit with the monster-themed Raven Tail guild.

Kurohebi is a snake-like man whose magic, Mimic, allows him to copy the magic of others.
----
* DishingOutDirt: Although he's skilled at PowerCopying, he never copies anything other than Max's Sandstorm magic.
* DubNameChange: He's called "Blacksnake" in the English dub, which is a literal translation of his usual name.
* ForTheEvulz: By his own admission, he loves to torment others for no reason other than to be a {{Jerkass}}.
* {{Guyliner}}: Wears black eyeliner and lipstick, adding to his snake-like appearance.
* HellishPupils: He has slitted pupils, fitting for a [[SnakePeople snake-man]].
* MeaningfulName: "''Kuro hebi''" translates into "black snake" in Japanese. However, he claims that it's not his real name.
* PowerCopying: His main power. He somehow manages to copy Max's [[DishingOutDirt sand magic]], which he uses for the tournament.
* SnakePeople: He's a slender man with [[HellishPupils slitted eyes]], [[SssssnakeTalk a whispery voice]], and scale-patterned pants.
* TheUnreveal: He says that "Kurohebi" is just a nickname, and makes [[TheBet a wager]] with Toby to reveal his real name if he loses their match. However, the name remains a mystery since Kurohebi wins.

Nullpudding is a sly, hunchbacked wizard who can cover his entire body with spikes.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Although he isn't really fat, he's more agile than he looks.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His skin is purple.
* BeardOfEvil: Has a double spiked goatee.
* TheBrute: He is Raven Tail's physically toughest member, and his Needle Magic makes him dangerous [[CloseRangeCombatant in melee range]].
* CheshireCatGrin: His expression is permanently fixed in a big, seedy grin.
* CombatPragmatist: He gets the drop on Gray several times during the Hidden contest by hiding behind one of his own holographic copies, tricking Gray into hitting the copy and losing a point. Then, when Gray hesitates to fight him another time, Nullpudding lunges in for a hit.
* GeniusBruiser: He's skilled enough to pinpoint a wizard's location through their magic, and packs a mean punch with his Needle Blast attack.
* {{Gonk}}: On top of the purple skin, he has beady, bulging eyes, an enormous chin, and a permanent smile, giving him a very freaky look.
* InconsistentSpelling: His name card in the anime spells his name as "Nalpudding".

* OhCrap: He doesn't keep his smug attitude up forever when he decides to target Rufus, who manages to get the drop on him with a fake of his own.
* SpikesOfVillainy: He has a spiked beard, and he can cover his whole body in needles.
* {{Troll}}: He exclusively targets Gray during the Hidden contest, and focuses more on lowering his score than actually winning.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mermaid_heel.png]]

* TheGhost: Mermaid Heel's Guild Master never appeared in the series.
* MsFanservice: Most of the guild's older members are quite physically attractive. The finale even sees them becoming the exclusive models of ''Weekly Sorcerer''.
* MythicalMotifs: Mermaids, as befitting an AmazonBrigade.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Once the battle royale in the Grand Magic Games gets serious, all of Mermaid Heel's team players (sans Kagura and Millianna) get removed quickly to increase the dramatic tension.

[[folder:Kagura Mikazuchi]]
!!Kagura Mikazuchi
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaoriHayami (Japanese), Jenny Ledel (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Bérangère Jean (French)[[/note]]
[[quoteright:139:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_kagura_anime.png]]

Kagura is Mermaid Heel's most powerful member, a master of Gravity Magic, and an expert swordswoman with her katana, Ontô Fugutaiten.[[note]]"Vengeance Sword: Archenemy"[[/note]] While seemingly calm and collected at all times, she forged her blade for the express purpose of killing Jellal to avenge her brother Simon's death. Once she fully understands the truth of Simon's death, however, Kagura ultimately decides to forgive Jellal once and for all.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her Fugutaiten katana is capable of dicing Ophiuchus, the strongest of the 13 Zodiac spirits, without leaving the scabbard. And that's not to make light of when it's unsheathed, where a single swing can slice an entire mountain at the base.
* TheAce: She is the single-most powerful wizard and fighter of Mermaid Heel, and has the best performance rating in the Grand Magic Games, second to Millianna. Her swift defeat of Yukino establishes Mermaid Heel as a threat on par with Saber Tooth, and she nearly gets the better of Erza with ease while she's holding back. She stands alongside Erza and Minerva as one of Fiore's strongest female wizards fighters.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair goes from black in the manga to purple in the anime, the exact opposite of Minerva.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is tall, dark-haired, attractive, and acts stoically most of the time.
* AmbiguouslyGay: She is shown to be particularly close to Erza, despite viewing her as an older sister. Things only get muddled even further when Kagura kisses Erza in the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]] just to "make up" for "kissing" Jellal (i.e., giving him CPR).
* ArchEnemy: She initially views Jellal Fernandez as her enemy, given his involvement in Simon's death at the Tower of Heaven. Learning the truth about his death changed Kagura's views on Jellal significantly.
* BerserkerTears: Kagura flies into a tearful rage against Erza after realizing Simon saved her at the cost of his own life seven years earlier.
* BestServedCold: By the time of the Grand Magic Games, Kagura has waited a long time to take revenge on the one who killed her beloved brother: Jellal Fernandez.
* BigBrotherWorship: Her older brother Simon was everything she had when they were younger since they were dirt poor. [[IWillFindYou She spent ten years looking for him]] after they were separated, and dedicated her life to killing Jellal to avenge his death, and completely snaps when faced with a Historia of him created by Neinhart. After forgiving Jellal, however, Kagura gets enough of a handle on her love of Simon to cut the Historia down.
* BlueIsHeroic: Her magic is a blue aura, and even at her worst was a HeroAntagonist with an understandable grudge against Jellal.
* BrokenBird: She enters the Grand Magic Games as a solemn and stoic woman fueled by hatred towards Jellal, who killed the only other person she loved the most.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a sizable bust, which catches the attention of the guys at Lamia Scale, especially when she's forced into wearing a dress with lots of cleavage.
* CantHoldTheirLiquor: A PlayedForLaughs example. Despite her serious demeanor, she has little alcohol tolerance and gets plastered pretty quickly during the post-games banquet.
* CaptainErsatz: Her name, black-haired (in the manga) HimeCut, white outfit with gold trim, and use of a katana provide a striking resemblance to Ikaruga from ''VideoGame/SenranKagura''.
* CherryTapping: She doesn't even need to unsheathe her sword to beat them.
* ClippedWingAngel: In her fight with Erza, she actually does more damage to her with her sword still sheathed than when she finally decides to unsheathe it. Even though the sword is hailed as being capable of causing a cataclysm if it's unsheathed, the only slash she is able to deliver only gives Erza a light scratch, even though it has enough power to cut a large part of the city.
* TheComicallySerious: Due to her usual serious and stoic demeanor, it's PlayedForLaughs whenever she gets into bizarre or unusual situations, such as getting drunk at a party or being embarrassed at having to wear a dress.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She lived a happy life with her brother Simon until their hometown was razed by Zeref cultists looking for child slaves to build the Tower of Heaven. She escaped thanks to Erza, but Simon wasn't so lucky. She then spent the next ten years searching for her brother until she crossed paths with Millianna and learned he was killed by Jellal. [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope Everything went downhill from there]].
* DefeatByModesty: During the [[Recap/FairyTailAlvarezEmpireArc Alvarez Empire arc]], [=DiMaria=] destroys Kagura's kimono in front of two guilds worth of onlookers and forcing her into a NakedFreakOut. The incident leaves an impact on her pride not only due to the exposure factor but because of how outmatched she felt by [=DiMaria=].
* DefrostingIceQueen: She enters the Grand Magic Games as a moody young woman who is strict but caring towards the rest of her guild when not preoccupied with her thoughts of revenge against the man who ruined her life. By the closing ceremony, she begins coming out of her shell and joins the festivities with her friends, a sign that she has started coming to terms with her anger.
* DesignatedBullet: Kagura forges her Fugutaiten to personally kill Jellal.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Though Kagura learns the truth of Simon's death, she's initially unnerved by what Jellal did to him. By the end of ''Fairy Tail'', Kagura eventually accepts Jellal's redemption.
* ForgottenFriendNewFoe: During their childhood, Erza rescues her from being captured and enslaved by the Zeref cultists. Once they recognize each other during their match in the Grand Magic Games, Kagura loses her will to fight and surrenders.
* FragileSpeedster: As one of the fastest characters in the series, Kagura relies on her agility or blocking blows with her sword for defense, since she can't take many direct hits before going down, as shown when Minerva managed to take her out with a single sneak attack.
* GameFace: She usually appears with [[EyesAlwaysShut closed, contemplative eyes]]. When her eyes are opened, she looks much more angry-looking in battle.
* TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil: She plays the revenge and rage-driven "Bad" to Erza's noble "Good" and Minerva's callous "Evil" during their three-way match.
* GravityMaster: Her magic is Gravity Change, which lets her alter the gravity of any target, including herself, either by making them lighter or heavier, or changing the direction of its pull. Her mastery and her power in this magic are so high that it even bypasses the power of Libra, a celestial spirit specialized in this magic.
* HairstyleInertia: {{Flashback}}s to her childhood show she had the very same HimeCut she had as a child that she has as an adult. She even wore her white ribbon in the same way.
* HatesWearingDresses: While at the Grand Magic Ball, she complains about having to wear such a PimpedOutDress and walking in high-heels.
* HeroAntagonist: Kagura's initial antagonism during the first half of the [[Recap/FairyTailGrandMagicGamesArc Grand Magic Games arc]] stems from her planned RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Jellal, which puts her into a serious personal conflict against Erza.
* HimeCut: She has blunt bangs, cheek-length sidelocks, and waist-length straight hair; a traditional and elegant hairstyle befitting for a LadyOfWar with a katana.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: PlayedWith. She [[SheathStrike usually fights with her sword sheathed]], so most of her blows are blunt, but she's able to perform sharp slashing attacks, which are always preceded by her adopting an Iaijutsu stance. It's unclear if she's simply drawing her sword imperceptibly fast or if she's using magic.
* IGaveMyWord: Kagura holds Yukino's life in her hands as a result of their pre-battle [[TheBet wager]]. Kagura regards her win as Yukino's life belonging to her, even after Yukino returns to Saber Tooth for good.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Minerva stabs Kagura in the gut [[UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem with her own sword]] when the latter helps Erza during their duel.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: She can cut through almost anything (even armor that managed to withstand a castle-leveling attack) without unsheathing her sword!
* IOweYouMyLife: Erza rescues her from being captured by Zeref cultists as a child. Kagura initially doesn't recognize her and tries killing her when she discovers her involvement in Simon's death, but once she realizes who Erza is, she decides to spare her.
* ItsPersonal: Her resentment against Jellal and Erza is very personal, since both are connected to her brother Simon's death.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kagura's seriousness and stoicism makes her come off as a harsh jerk, but she does care deeply for all life, as demonstrated with her relationship with her guildmates as well as her reconciliation with Erza.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her Fugutaiten is one of the strongest weapons seen in the series. She even [[SheathStrike fights with it unsheathed]] most of the time, and when she unsheathes it, it's portrayed as an AbsurdlySharpBlade.
* LadyOfWar: She's one of the country's top-ranking swordswomen, but never loses her air of calm or grace, at least until she's [[NotSoStoic provoked]] into drawing her sword.
* TheLeader: She's treated as the field leader of Mermaid Heel, due to the guild master never appearing, leading the other girls during both the Grand Magic Games and during their fight against the Alvarez Empire.
* MasterSwordsman: She's an extremely skilled swordfighter, even being able to use her [[SheathStrike sheathed sword]] to [[ImplausibleFencingPowers slice her opponents to pieces]]. She's one of the few who can match Erza in the setting. She actually relies more on her sword-fighting skills than her actual magic.
* NotSoStoic: She's usually a calm and reserved woman who doesn't emote much, but matters relating to her dead brother can send her into a rage.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Kagura spends her childhood in Rosemary Village, along with Simon and Erza.
* OneeSama: She fulfills this role in her guild, especially towards Millianna who, incidentally, is actually older than her.
* PerpetualFrowner: Her default expression is a stern frown.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: When Fugutaiten is unsheathed, Kagura can cleave through anything within her range, including ''an entire city''.
* ThePowerOfHate: Her sword Fugutaiten, meaning "Archenemy" and fittingly also known as the "Vengeance Sword", is forged with and fueled by someone the wielder hates so much, that it's impossible to live in the same world as them.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears a skirt with tight pants underneath, fitting with her modest fashion sense.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She's a modest person who dresses sensibly, and the only times she's played for fanservice is at her expense, such as suffering ClothingDamage in battle, being [[HatesWearingDresses forced to wear a skimpy dress for a ball]], or to pose in swimwear. She deeply values her modesty to the point where, after [=DiMaria=] uses her TimeStandsStill powers to [[ShamefulStrip publicly strip Kagura naked]], she has a NakedFreakOut.
* RevengeBeforeReason: A PlayedWith example occurs during her fight with the Alvarez Empire. Despite knowing of Jellal's atonement for his misdeeds, she repeatedly fights down her urges to either kill him or leave him for dead.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Kagura's StartOfDarkness begins when Millianna tells her about Simon's death, causing her to be consumed with hatred and plot her revenge on the one who killed her brother: Jellal. Seven years later, however, Kagura gets better after learning the truth of her brother's death.
* SheathStrike: Using her Besheathed Longsword Technique, she keeps Fugutaiten in her sheath. While most of her blows from it are blunt, she can also use magic to cut things, mimicking an IaijutsuPractitioner technique without actually unsheating the blade. She only draws Fugutaitan when she gets serious, such as her climactic battle with Erza, or when she's trying to kill Larcade.
* SignatureHeadgear: She always wears a white headband with a ribbon tied at the middle in a bow that resembles bunny ears.
* StartOfDarkness: Being told of Simon's death by Millianna causes Kagura to instigate her seven-year-long RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Jellal.
* TheStoic: She gives off a very calm and relaxed demeanor with her expression being almost always blank, rarely showing emotion. However, she eventually loses it upon learning about Erza's involvement in Simon's death.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Though Kagura's an aloof woman who gives off a stern, unapproachable aura thanks to her PerpetualFrowner expressions, she's a caring girl who loves her guildmates deeply and is always kind and supportive of them, with all of them looking up to her as a CoolBigSis figure.
* TearsOfRemorse: At the end of her match in the Grand Magic Games, Kagura sheds tears of regret upon realizing what Erza did for her during their childhood.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: While she happily teams up with Erza during the battle with the Alvarez Empire, it's clear she's barely holding back her resentment for Jellal when he joins the two. Even when he rescues her from Neinhart's attack and gets pinned under an anchor, she initially intends to leave him for dead. However, her conscience compels her to rescue him and let go of her resentment for good.

* UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: After dropping her sword to help Erza during their match, Minerva picks it up and non-fatally stabs her InTheBack.
* UnstoppableRage: During her match in the Grand Magic Games, Kagura briefly goes berserk upon discovering Erza's involvement in Simon's demise.
* TheWorfBarrage:
** A zig-zagged example. Her Fugutaiten is hyped to be a terrifyingly powerful sword that could cause a natural disaster with its unsheathing alone. When it ''is'' finally unsheathed, it shows that it is indeed as strong as she claimed it was by leveling an entire section of the city with a single swing, but Erza somehow manages to come out with only minor injuries.
** A straight example occurs during her battle with Larcade. Shortly after cutting through the ''hill'' he was sitting on, he casually stops her blade with two bare fingers. In his case, it's because he's an [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Etherious]], who have SuperToughness and certain resistance to magic as part of the package.
* TheWorfEffect: She's shown to be one of the most powerful wizards in Fiore during the Grand Magic Games. She becomes outmatched by the Spriggans during the battle with the Alvarez Empire to show how powerful they are, with [=DiMaria=] easily defeating her with her TimeStandsStill powers and Larcade blocking her supposedly unstoppable katana with [[BareHandedBladeBlock his bare fingers]].
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Her hometown of Rosemary Village was destroyed by Zeref cultists during her childhood.

She is a former slave from the Tower of Heaven and one of Erza's childhood friends, known for her obsession with cats. She uses a form of Binding Magic by tying up her opponents with a magic rope that negates their magic. After leaving the tower, she travels the world with her other friends and eventually winds up at Mermaid Heel.
----
* AnimeHair: Dolled up in the style of cat ears.
* AntiMagic: Her magic, Nekousoku Tube, lets her [[BoundAndGagged bind]] people and restrain their magic.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Gets distracted by ''anything cat-related''. Unfortunately for her, this becomes her undoing in her fight with Natsu.
* BadassAdorable: A cute CatGirl who kicks ass after enduring so many hardships all her life.
* BadassInDistress: Although a competent fighter, she gets kidnapped by Minerva during the Grand Magic Games, much to Erza and Kagura's rage.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's a pretty big {{Cloudcuckoolander}} due to her obsession with cats, but she turns out to be a decent fighter. She's also fully capable of killing intent, especially towards Jellal.
* BrokenBird: She may be a KindHeartedCatLover and a GenkiGirl, but that doesn't change the fact that she suffered eight years of enslavement, most of which was spent under the sway of someone she thought was her best friend.
* TheBusCameBack: While Erza's other friends were PutOnABus following the [[Recap/FairyTailTowerOfHeavenArc Tower of Heaven arc]], Millianna returned for the Grand Magic Games and became something of a major character.
* CatGirl: Has the looks and behavior of one, though she's not really one.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "[[GenkiGirl Feelin' spiffy!]]"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Comes off this way because of her cat-loving tendencies.
* CollaredByFashion: She wears a choker with a bell attached unto it.
* CutenessProximity: She apparently thinks of cats as some sort of teddy bears that she can just hug for a long, long time. During the ball after the Grand Magic Games, she completely forgets that she was supposed to sulk when Erza hands her Happy, Carla, and Panther Lily.
%%* {{Dominatrix}}: Her specialty at tying up her opponents gets taken up a notch after the TimeSkip
* DumbIsGood: She's not the smartest member of her team, but she does have a good heart.
* FatalFlaw: Her love of cats often becomes her undoing. This weakness is manipulated by Natsu, and by Lyon and Minerva in the anime, the latter of which nearly kills her as a result.
* FacialMarkings: She has red marks on her face resembling cat whiskers.
* FemmeFatalons: The anime reveals that she has sharpened nails beneath her gloves, which she uses as her SecretWeapon.
* GenkiGirl: She's almost always bounding with energy. "Genki" is even a part of her Japanese CharacterCatchphrase.
* HeelFaceTurn: Like the rest of Erza's ChildhoodFriends, Millianna was tricked by Jellal into turning against Erza and forming his QuirkyMinibossSquad. After Jellal's deception is revealed, she and the others go back to being her friends.
* HypocriticalHumor: She tells Natsu how she hates people who pretends to be a cat when they're not despite the fact that she's not really a true CatGirl.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Joined Mermaid Heel so she could make herself stronger and independent. However, she still requires more training.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her Nekousoku Tube can be used like a whip.
* InTheHood: She is reintroduced during the Grand Magic Games with her hood up to cover her face, keeping her identity hidden to surprise Erza.
* KindheartedCatLover: Millianna absolutely ''refuses'' to hurt anything that resembles a cat--even [[PaperThinDisguise a poorly disguised Natsu]].
* MsFanservice: After the TimeSkip, Millianna abandons her wholesome, innocent outfit for a midriff-baring {{Dominatrix}} bikini with long gloves and kneesocks.
%%* NoSocialSkills: Shortly after escaping the Tower of Heaven, she and Wally behave as if they've never been anywhere before. [[MadeASlave Makes sense]].
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks up to Kagura like her OneeSama, but the fact of the matter is that they're the same age, with Millianna being slightly older.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: During the MPF contest, Millianna does quite well for herself, with Lahar noting her score would easily make her as strong as a Rune Knight Captain, which would put her at above-average for a mage even with Beth worriedly noting raw power isn't her strong suit. Unfortunately, even discounting Erza's OneManArmy feat with Pandemonium earlier, her score is subsequently blown out of the water by an S-Class wizard like Olga (who scores nearly ''ten'' times hers), a Wizard Saint like Jura (who gets over double Olga's score), and Cana (who has access to one of the most powerful magic spells ''in the series'' and [[ReadingsBlewUpTheScale obliterates the measuring device while getting the maximum reading]]).
* PerkyFemaleMinion: She kept her GenkiGirl attitude even as she served as Jellal's henchwoman at the Tower of Heaven.
* RevengeBeforeReason: She wants to see Jellal dead for killing Simon, and joins Mermaid Heel so she can witness Kagura kill him. However, her hatred is completely shaken after she learns that he was brainwashed by Ultear, who has her own deal of regrets about it, leaving Millianna's feelings towards Jellal uncertain.
* SelfDisposingVillain: A rare heroic example. During her fight with Lyon in the anime, Millianna accidentally knocks herself out by running into a wall after being chased by his ice tiger.
* SexyCatPerson: She combines her feline theme with heavy sexualisation after the TimeSkip.
* ShesAllGrownUp: She was more of an adorable teenager pre-TimeSkip, but after seven years, she's grown into MsFanservice.
* SlasherSmile: Her [[PerpetualSmiler perpetual smile]] becomes this when she's angry.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit after the second TimeSkip doesn't exactly leave much to the imagination.
* TookALevelInBadass: Her fighting skill gets a tremendous boost after the time skip, and when she joins Mermaid Heel, though [[CantCatchUp it's still nothing]] compared to monsters like Olga, Jura, and a Fairy Glitter-armed Cana, though it’s justified seeing as how she was competing against a God-Slayer, a Wizard Saint, and the daughter of Fairy Tail’s strongest wizard armed with one of the guild’s strongest spells.
* TookALevelInKindness: She went from being a smug villain to a kinder girl thanks to Erza's encouragement.
%%* {{Underboobs}}: Post-TimeSkip.
* WeakButSkilled: Although her magic and her pure magical power are both rather average, with her guildmate Beth noting raw power isn't her strong suit, Millianna proves to be a skilled fighter during the Grand Magic Games, easily taking out Semmes on her own and keeping for a while head on her own both to Yuka and Lyon.
* WomanChild: She's 23 after the TimeSkip, yet she continues to act like a childish GenkiGirl.
