15	''Fairy Tail'' is a manga series by one Creator/HiroMashima, author of ''Manga/RaveMaster'', ''Manga/MonsterSoul'', ''Manga/MonsterHunterOrage'', and later series ''Manga/EdensZero'' among other works.
16
17	Taken place in a fantastical world known as [[FictionalEarth Earthland]], where magic is a commonplace and multiple wizard guilds are formed to perform various jobs from various clients throughout the land. One such guild is the titular Fairy Tail, a rather (in)famous wizard guild mainly comprised of some of Earthland's most notorious troublemakers and misfits widely known for causing so much property damage as much as they earnestly helping their clients.
18
19	The franchise mainly focuses on one such group of wizards within the notorious guild, each being a dysfunctional bunch with enough power to be the guild's AlmightyJanitor:
20	* '''[[TheHero Natsu Dragneel]]''': The Salamander. The resident flame-eating, [[HotBlooded literal hot-headed]] [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] [[TheDragonSlayer Dragon Slayer]] with [[ThePowerOfFriendship an unwaivering trust towards his friends]].
21	* '''[[TheHeart Lucy Heartfilia]]''': The "[[BornLucky Lucky]]" [[SummonMagic Celestial Spirit Wizard]]. A busty RebelliousPrincess and the current holder of the 12 powerful [[ZodiacMotifs Zodiac Celestial]] Keys.
22	* '''[[TheLancer Gray Fullbuster]]''': The [[AnIcePerson Ice Maker]]. The [[LiteralMetaphor cooler]] foil (and friendly rival) of Natsu Dragneel, resident walking ShirtlessScene and user of [[ConstructionIsAwesome the versatile Ice Make Magic]].
23	* '''[[WorldsBestWarrior Erza Scarlet]]''': The [[TheDreaded Steel Fairy]]. The NotSoStoic [[MasterSwordsman master swordswoman]] and pride of the guild itself, an ungodly wielder of many swords, and a terrifying user of the [[InstantArmor Requip Magic]].
24	* '''[[TagAlongKid Wendy Marvell]]''': The Sky Maiden. The [[BlowYouAway Sky]] [[LittleMissBadass Dragon Slayer]] and the cutest (and youngest) CombatMedic of the group.
25	* '''[[LoyalAnimalCompanion Happy]]''': Natsu Dragneel's pet Exceed (i.e. a talking flying cat) and [[UndyingLoyalty fiercely loyal]] companion.
26	* '''[[{{Tsundere}} Carla]]''': Wendy Marvell's pet Exceed (i.e. a talking flying cat) and the group's [[CombatClairvoyance foresight-seeing]] companion.
27
28	From there, other members of the guild are showcased and become prominent characters alongside other mainstays and additional members who join on through the series. Along the way, the guild encounters threats to themselves, their city, their kingdom, and eventually their world as more of the series' myth opens and secrets of the guild are revealed.
29
30	The original run of the series began in 2006 and ended in 2017 with an 11-year run and 63 volumes worth of material. However, the series proved to be immensely popular with an anime adaptation, two movies, a sequel manga, and several spin-offs to its name.
