History Characters / FairyTailLucyHeartfilia

* HatedHometown: Despite having the means to go back to her home, she refuses to do so because she associates it with her memories of Layla and Jude's neglectfulness. The only times she returns to her home is when she decides to disown Jude for inadvertently helping a guild war come into play and later when she realizes that Jude died atoning for his misdeeds.

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: As a Holder-type wizard, her power lies primarily in her Gate Keys, which she uses to summon powerful allies to fight for her. Take them away and you're left with an average teenage girl, at least until she gains access to her Star Dresses and in particular Aquarius' power naturally.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaHirano (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Montserrat Aguilar (Latin American Spanish); Marie Nonnenmacher (French); Creator/ChiaraOliviero (Italian)[[/note]]

* BuxomBeautyStandard: {{Averted|Trope}}. She has the honor of having the biggest breasts in the series, but her inability to seduce any man (outside of her own spirits) is a RunningGag. Not to mention that, if Gray is to be believed during a FreakyFridayFlip, [[BlessedWithSuck Lucy suffers from persistent back pain]]. When Rebecca says describes Lucy's breasts as "huge" in the HERO's spinoff, Lucy actually agrees, but notes Rebecca's are quite large as well, showing that when people aren't being lecherous about it she actually feels having a large chest warrants a compliment.

* CelibateHeroine: So far, though mostly it just seems like the right romance hasn't presented itself to her, rather than being opposed to the idea as a whole. While she doesn't actively seek out romance, she is a sucker for it, judging from the few times Natsu has been inadvertently romantic with her. Her being unaffected by Larcade's magic in the Alvarez Arc also ends up confirming she is also a virgin, having never experienced life's "forbidden pleasures" that render characters like Irene and Mavis susceptible.

* {{Motif}}: Lucy has several different motifs spread out throughout the series.
** Cosmic Motif: Lucy has a connection to the stars such as her Star Dress power, her Urano Metria spell is known as the ultimate magic of the stars, her second whip that she got from Virgo translates to the River of Stars, when she's not wearing heart earrings she's wearing star shaped earrings instead and both her swimsuits and pajamas have star imagery on them as well being taken to a place called Star Memory along with Brandish by Aquarius.
** Body Motif: For Lucy it's hearts as she wears heart earrings, her first time skip outfit has a heart symbol on her shirt, all the celestial spirit clothing that Virgo gives her all have heart symbols on them, both her whips have heart shaped ends, her shirts outfit during the Dragon Cry movie is shaped like an upside down heart, her outfit when Lucy meets up with Natsu and Happy again after the second time skip has a heart symbol just moved over to the left a little on her shirt, at Star Memory Lucy's mermaid tail had heart symbols on its ends and her last name is Heartfilia as well.
** Numerological Motif: Lucy has been associated with the number seven several times throughout the series such her very first mission in the series being numbered seven on it, she started out with seven zodiac keys/spirits, her rent is 70,000 jewel (10,000x7), in chapter 107 during the Fairy Tail girl contest Lucy was contestant number seven, during the Sirius Island arc Lucy and Canna chose route C which was number seven on the Islands numbered routes, she was born in the year X767, she was 17 (10+7) when she started the series, after the Tartaros arc Lucy is left with fourteen zodiac keys (7x2) and she named her in universe book character Iris which means rainbow which can be divided into seven different colors, Iris can also reference the asteroid Iris also known as 7 Iris, she is also a member of a group that is normally at max made up of seven people and considering the fact that Lucy is considered lucky this can also make it a case of lucky seven as well.

* TheChosenOne: Parodied. Lucy wonders if she's this when she's the only one who can use magic in Edolas. She is immediately shot down. Then everyone else gets their own mana potions to drink, and they're right back to using their powers.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaHirano (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Montserrat Aguilar (Latin American Spanish); Marie Nonnenmacher (French); Chiara Oliviero (Italian)[[/note]]

* BellyDancer: She is forced to play this role in the second movie. While she [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl hates doing it]], it's one of the few notable times her seduction attempt actually works.

* ForcedTransformation: In ''100 Years Quest'', [[spoiler: after being captured by Selene's lackeys, Lucy's forcibly transformed into a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nure-onna nure-onna]] (a [[SnakePeople half-woman/half-snake]] yokai), and is reduced to a predator, while being forced to do battle with Natsu. It then happens to her ''again'' when she's [[ToyTransmutation turned into a doll]] by Haku.]]

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She swaps between this and ProudBeauty, depending on who's looking.

* SeashellBra: She wore one of these when Aquarius takes her and Brandish to Star Memory in the Alvarez Empire arc.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She has a tendency to suffer clothing damage regularly, so Virgo has to dress her up in Celestial Spirit clothing. Very happily.

* StarPower: Her ultimate spell, Urano Metoria (or "[[InconsistentSpelling Uranometria]]"), creates miniature stars and planets that pummel and instantly defeat her opponents.

%%* StraightMan: To Natsu most often, but also the rest of the team as well.

%%* TownGirls: The Neither to Wendy's Femme and Erza's Butch.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: While not seen on screen but according to the Fairy Tail Manga volume 33 Q&A Lucy’s favorite food is yogurt.

* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. Lucy's normally cute, flirty and light-hearted, and undoubtedly one of the kindest characters, but she can have a violent temper at times, especially when finding trespassers in her house.

[[AC:Main:]] ''[[Characters/FairyTailZero Zero]]'' | ''[[Characters/FairyTail100YearsQuest 100 Years Quest]]''\\

** Sagittarius gives her his [[ArcherArchetype skill with a bow]] and [[MageMarksman magic arrows]].

* WomenAreWiser: She tends to be the rational thinker of the team.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her last name is spelled as "Heartphilia" in the Italian dub.

* StarPower: Her ultimate spell, Urano Metoria (or "[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Uranometria]]"), creates miniature stars and planets that pummel and instantly defeat her opponents.

** Cosmic Motif: Lucy has a connection to the stars such as her star dress power, her urano metria spell is known as the ultimate magic of the stars, her second whip that she got from Virgo translates to river of stars, when she’s not wearing heart earrings she’s wearing star shaped earrings instead and both her swimsuits and pajamas have star imagery on them as well being taken to a place called star memory along with Brandish by Aquarius.
** Body Motif: For Lucy it’s hearts as she wears heart earrings, her first time skip outfit has a heart symbol on her shirt, all the celestial spirit clothing that Virgo gives her all have heart symbols on them, both her whips have heart shaped ends, her shirts outfit during the Dragon Cry movie is shaped like an upside down heart, her outfit when Lucy meets up with Natsu and happy again after the second time skip has a heart symbol just moved over to the left a little on her shirt, at star memory Lucy’s mermaid tail had heart symbols on its ends and her last name is Heartfilia as well.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: She's fairly powerful as a Celestial Spirit wizard, considering she has 10 [[spoiler:(9 post-Tartaros arc)]] of the 12 one of a kind zodiac keys, but she's constantly being eclipsed by the insane antics of Natsu, Erza, and the other upper level Fairy Tail members. She takes some of the biggest TookALevelInBadass moments of the core team, eventually becoming one of the strongest Celestial Spirit wizards alive, but even then she freely admits that Natsu and many of her friends are still stronger than her; luckily for her she compensates [[OnlySaneMan with strategy and groundedness]].

* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothes: Lampshaded. When she's transformed into a nure-onna, her clothes completely disappear. While like that, she doesn't care (even pressing Natsu's face right into her chest), after she's turned back to normal and her clothes reappear, she's extremely extremely embarrassed when told.

** Furthermore the first half of her last name heartfilia means heart as in the part of the body that pumps blood and hearts have also been used as symbols to represent love and can even mean love or passion while the second half of her last name filia means daughter which is fitting as all known members of the Heartfilia family barring Jude who took the name as his own are all female thus together Lucy’s last name can mean passion daughter or love daughter.

* BlueIsHeroic: Lucy’s outfits typically have blue on them and she is one of the main characters of the series.

* FaceMonsterTurn: [[spoiler: After getting turned into a nure-onna, Lucy's personality turns sadistic and predatory, expressing her desire to kill and eat Natsu, while cruelly manipulating him. Fortunately, she's saved by the intervention of Aquarius.]]

* HotterAndSexier: Lucy has always been a MsFanservice in the series, but this becomes more obvious after the first TimeSkip, where she is given skimpier clothes as her regular attire, and a [[GirlishPigtails hairstyle]] that makes her look sexier as well. The ArtEvolution helps a lot too. After the second TimeSkip, her longer hair and further ArtEvolution make her look even sexier.

* FriendlyRivalry: During the ''Manga/FairyTail100YearsQuest'' she develops one with [[spoiler:Brandish over which one of them is going to find Aquarius's key first]].

* HollywoodDateless: Aquarius constantly teases her about her lack of a boyfriend.

* TenMinuteRetirement: Subverted after Fairy Tail broke up after the Tartaros arc. She doesn't join a different guild and instead becomes a reporter, seemingly leaving the Guild life behind. Predictably, it doesn't stick and she is back in action by the time she reunites with Natsu and Happy in the Alvarez Empire arc, but not only that, she shows off great improvement in her combat ability, indicating she never truly stopped using her Wizard skills.
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: PlayedForLaughs at the start of Edolas when she's initially the only one among a small group of Fairy Tail wizards who weren't turned into lacrima (Natsu, Wendy, and their Exceeds) who could still use magic. She put on airs and called herself Fairy Tail's mightiest wizard.

* {{Ojou}}: Subverted. She grows up as one but she leaves because her father Jude focuses on his business instead of her to the point of neglect. That being said, no one in the Fairy Tail guild gives her preferential treatment and she prefers it that way to the point where Lucy temporarily disowns her father after the battle with Phantom Lord.

* TenMinuteRetirement: She quits being a wizard to become a reporter after Fairy Tail's dissolution. Predictably, it doesn't stick and she is back in action by the time she reunites with Natsu and Happy in the Alvarez Empire arc.

* InformedAttribute: Almost all of the female cast have the [[WorldOfBuxom same breast size]], Lucy included. What makes it fit this trope is that Lucy's breasts are the only ones mentioned, most parodied, and regarded as the biggest of all InUniverse for some reason.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Erza's and Wendy's Tomboys. In-universe, it zigzags when she is seen as a {{Shorttank}} tomboy while Wendy's wearing a dress.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Erza's Tomboy, though this is only by comparison. She plays Tomboy to Wendy's Girly Girl. In-universe, she is seen as a {{Shorttank}}.

* MsFanservice: She's a large-breasted blonde who consistently wears skimpy outfits, carries a [[WhipItGood whip]], is frequently subject to ClothingDamage, almost always fights [[DesignatedGirlFight other women]], is often depicted in [[CosplayOtakuGirl cosplay outfits]] and sometimes [[{{Meido}} maid costumes]], is occasionally captured and [[BoundAndGagged tied up]], and is commonly drawn from provocative angles or with emphasis on suggestive body parts.

* TookALevelInBadass: More like multiple courses in badass. Although she's very good with her [[WhipItGood whip]], she starts out as a more or less ordinary girl whose spirits do most of the fighting, and she loses magic power at inopportune times due to pushing herself. This all changes when she activates her [[PowerUp Second Origin]], which allows her to summon multiple Zodiac spirits at once and combine their attacks. Her caliber becomes so high, in fact, she's able to handle summoning the Celestial Spirit King himself. And when she takes yet another step over the second TimeSkip, where she learns to don Star Dresses to channel her spirits' powers and fight side-by-side with them, she's able to start slugging it on the field with the rest of her team. [[spoiler: In the ''100 Years Quest'' she reveals she's learned how to channel two Star Dresses at once in a sort of fusion to vastly increase her power. She also manages to hold her own against all of the Strauss siblings at once during the battle of Draseel. When fighting against Kiria, she uses the ultra-powerful spell Gottfried to defeat her.]]

* WhipItGood: She carries a whip on her at all times to defend herself rather than using her spirits for the job instead. After she loses that whip when she's sentenced to die in Edolas, she replaces it with the [[GratuitousFrench Fleuve d'étoiles]], a magical and extendable whip from Virgo, and shows that she can be quite awesome with it, even without a spirit at her side.

* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Lucy's a nice girl who is willing to befriend and forgive anyone, up to and including former antagonists, regardless of morality. However, she draws the line when she realizes that Jude requested that Phantom Lord retrieve her unharmed to help the family business, only for them to start a guild war with Fairy Tail and nearly get her friends killed without his knowledge. Fortunately, they reconcile shortly after he loses his family business.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Lucy's a nice girl who is willing to befriend and forgive anyone, up to and including former antagonists, regardless of morality. However, she draws the line when she realizes that Jude requested that Phantom Lord retrieve her unharmed to help the family business, only for them to start a guild war with Fairy Tail and nearly get her friends killed without his knowledge. Fortunately, they reconcile shortly after he loses his family business.

* BenevolentBoss: She is very kind to her Celestial Spirits and refuses to think of using them as shields. She also fights alongside her Spirits and treats them as her friends, which is a lot more than what can be said of other Celestial Spirit Mages, who see their spirits merely as tools or objects.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: She's fairly powerful as a Celestial Spirit mage, considering she has 10 [[spoiler:(9 post-Tartaros arc)]] of the 12 one of a kind zodiac keys, but she's constantly being eclipsed by the insane antics of Natsu, Erza, and the other upper level Fairy Tail members. She takes some of the biggest TookALevelInBadass moments of the core team, eventually becoming one of the strongest Celestial Spirit mages alive, but even then she freely admits that Natsu and many of her friends are still stronger than her; luckily for her she compensates [[OnlySaneMan with strategy and groundedness]].

* MirrorCharacter: Lucy Heartfilia and Mavis Vermillion: Both are kind, suffered abandonment from their parents as children, and now use their wits to beat their opponents. Both girls are close to one of the Dragneel brothers; Mavis is in love with Zeref while Lucy is ship-teased with Natsu. [[spoiler:As if to cement how much both girls mirror each other, they only two characters to learn the spell Fairy Sphere and use it against the dragon Acnologia with Mavis protecting everyone from one of Acnologia's attacks while Lucy traps Acnologia's body inside one.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Most prominently featured in her X791 outfit shown above.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: She's probably the most frequent victim of slapstick comedy in the series, including a pillow thrown in a pillow fight between Natsu, Gray and Erza with enough force to knock her out the room, a sleeping Natsu's Fire Dragon's Iron Fist blasting her through the Guild roof and into the riverbank, and... everything regarding Kain's HollywoodVoodoo.
