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!"

Quatro Cerberus in General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quarto_cerberus.png

Animal Motifs: Their guild's theme is distinctly dog-like.
Butt-Monkey: They're so lame, Mashima doesn't even bother to give 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 curb-stomped 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 Alvarez Empire arc until they show up again to provide their magic power for Lucy's Fairy Sphere to trap Acnologia in the finale.
Character Catchphrase: "Wild Four!", which is changed in the English dub to, "We're wild!"
The Chew Toy: Their only purpose in the story is to serve as Cannon Fodder in a World of Badass.
Collared by Fashion: Most members wear spiked dog collars.
Defeat Means Friendship: In the anime, Bacchus and Rocker have a friendly drinking contest with Fairy Tail after losing to Elfman and being renamed "Quatro Puppy".
Dumb Muscle: 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.
Embarrassing Nickname: Elfman and Bacchus make a bet during the Grand Magic Games that if Elfman wins, then Quatro Cerberus will be renamed "Quatro Puppy" for the rest of the tournament. And win Elfman does.
Hot-Blooded: They are nothing if not passionate about fighting.
Inconsistent Spelling: 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.
Large Ham: Their catchphrase somewhat resembles a dog howling.
Mythical Motifs: Cerberus, the three headed guard dog of the underworld, fitting with their dog theme.
Testosterone Poisoning: 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 "lone flower".
The Worf Effect: Their general role in the Grand Magic Games is to showcase their opponent's strength by getting their asses kicked.

Guild Master

Goldmine

Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Steve Summers [2011-2012], Chris Ryan [2014-present] (English)

Goldmine is the master of Quatro Cerberus and an old friend of Makarov's.

Adaptation Origin Connection: 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.
Collared by Fashion: A spiked dog collar.
Cool Shades: Never seen without them.
Mr. Exposition: He's one of the first characters to explain who Zeref is and what kind of impact he left on the world.

Membership

Bacchus Glowe

Voiced by: Kenjiro Tsuda (Japanese), Chris Hury (English)^note

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.

The Ace: He is the strongest member of Quatro Cerberus, and the only one to actually win an event in the Grand Magic Games.
The Alcoholic: 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 the best fighter in his guild.
Bare-Fisted Monk: 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.
Character Catchphrase: "My soul is shaking."
Drunken Master: He invented his own fighting style based on real-life Drunken Boxing 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.
Facial Markings: He sports a row of spots beneath each eye.
Graceful Loser: 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.
The Hedonist: He revels in a life of drinking good liquor and bedding hot women, usually more than once.
Hoist by His Own Petard: 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.
Informed Ability: 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 Victory by Endurance stamina match, but his later fight with Ichiya (only knocking him around before being taken out in one hit via Power Parfum) and the "fight" with Sting (taken out in one surprise attack from behind) later puts that into doubt.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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.
Kung-Fu Wizard: He's not just a wizard, but he's also a master martial artist who invented his own style of Drunken Boxing.
Lightning Bruiser: He's so fast he can hit a target seven times in a row with what seems to be a single dash.
Meaningful Name: Bacchus is named after the Roman god of wine and drunkenness.
Power Palms: His magic concentrates magic power into his palms, making his strikes incredibly devastating.
The Rival: He used to be one for Erza before the Time Skip, though their rivalry is never developed beyond a mere mention, and they never face each other in combat.
Spirited Competitor: 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.
True Companions: 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 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.
Walking Shirtless Scene: His outfit leaves most of his muscular torso exposed, instead covering his arms and shoulders with dark blue armor plates.
The Worf Effect: 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 Butt-Monkey 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)

Rocker is a wizard whose Drill 'n Rock lets him spin parts of his body like a drill.

Anime Hair: Rocker has two huge spikes of hair, which also count as Expressive Hair.
Defeat Means Friendship: 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.
Hell-Bent for Leather: Wears a leather jacket.
Hot Blooded Sideburns: He's certainly the most passionate of the group, and he has sideburns to match.
Kung-Fu Wizard: He uses Full-Contact Magic, turning his limbs into drills.
The One Guy: During the Naval Battle of the Grand Magic Games, he's the sole male in a match filled with women.
This Is a Drill: Rocker's Drill 'n Rock allows him to turn his body parts into drills.

Warcry

Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Marcus D. Stimac (English)

Warcry is a wizard whose Tear Magic lets him boost his own strength by crying.

Berserker Tears: 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.
Informed Ability: 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.
Inelegant Blubbering: His tears are always quite messy.
Meaningful Name: Warcry cries in order to fight.
Nemean Skinning: He wears a dog skin, making him the only member of Quattro Cerberus to wear anything dog-related besides a spiked collar.
Ocular Gushers: It's an effect of his tear magic.
Swiss-Army Tears: 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)

Yeager is a muscular wizard who can summon giant plants to fight.

Green Thumb: Yeager can instantly summon plants and spiked vines with his magic.
Hidden Depths: Mentions in the Grand Magic Games he played hide and seek a lot as a kid.
Man-Eating Plant: One of his attacks lets him summon them.
Muscles Are Meaningless: He's never seen putting those rock-hard abs to any use, only fighting with (and getting trounced by) magic.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He doesn't wear anything on his upper body except his collar.
Verbal Tic: "Dah."

Nobarly

Voiced by: Masaki Kawanabe (Japanese), Patrick McAlister (English)

Nobarly is a nondescript wizard with no particular power to speak of.

Badasses Wear Bandanas: He fails to live up to the "badass" part, but he sure wears a bandanna.
Butt-Monkey: He's probably the biggest one in a whole guild full of them; we never even see the guy's magic!
Gag Nose: His most distinguishing trait is his long, pointed nose.
Inconsistent Spelling: Kodansha alternatively spells his name as "Novali".
Informed Ability: 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.
Sleeves Are for Wimps: He's a manly guy with no sleeves, though that hardly makes him tougher.

Semmes

Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Devin Pike (English)

Semmes is a large wizard who looks and acts like a robot.

Adaptation Expansion: 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.
The Big Guy: The largest of his team, but also the slowest and the less bright according to his stat chart.
Inconsistent Spelling: In a later chapter, Kodansha spells his name as "Sems".
Mighty Glacier: 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 Lightning Bruiser.
Non-Standard Character Design: There certainly aren't any other characters who look like a robot.
Robo Speak: He has a robotic voice in the Japanese version of the anime.
Spin Attack: 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.
Top-Heavy Guy: In the anime. In the manga he's a little more round.
The Voiceless: 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.

Phantom Lord in General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phantom_lord.png

Arch-Enemy: To Fairy Tail, whose rivalry with Phantom Lord comes to a head when the latter destroys their guildhall at the beginning of the Phantom Lord arc.
Arc Villain: 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.
Badass Crew: 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.
Bad Samaritan: 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.
Defector from Decadence: After the guild's dissolution, Gajeel and Juvia officially defect and join Fairy Tail.
Everyone Has Standards: 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.
Laser-Guided Karma: The conclusion of their arc sees their Guild disbanded for good due to their crimes.
A Mech by Any Other Name: Their guildhall can convert itself into a Humongous Mecha called the Phantom MkII, yet everyone refers to it as a "giant wizard".
Mythical Motifs: Phantoms, having dark attitudes like the creature in question and their leader's magic summon phantom-like creatures.
The Rival: They are Fairy Tail's first big, non-dark rival guild before the first Time Skip. 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.
Shout-Out: They're named after a Metallica song.
Smug Snake: 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.
Wave-Motion Gun: The Compressed Magic Cannon, Jupiter, is capable of firing a blast large enough to destroy an entire guild.

Guild Master

Jose Porla

Voiced by: Takashi Matsuyama (Japanese), Ed Blaylock (English)^note

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.

The Archmage: Is a Wizard Saint and wields Darkness Magic that allows him to summon phantom soldiers. He's powerful enough that it takes Makarov, a fellow Wizard Saint, using Fairy Law to defeat him.
Arc Villain: He's the driving antagonist of the Phantom Lord arc, where he's hired by Jude Heartfilia to bring Lucy home unharmed to help his Family Business, but uses it as his excuse to eliminate Fairy Tail in an all-out war.
Art Evolution: When first introduced in the manga, his design looks rather silly and hardly intimidating, apart from a Slasher Smile here and there. However, within a few chapters, his design became more distinct and he ended up looking more badass as a result.
Bad Powers, Bad People: 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.
Big Bad Wannabe: 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.
Black Eyes of Evil: His eyes turn black when he fights Makarov in the anime, and good lord are they terrifying.
Casting a Shadow: He specializes in casting dark magic and creating ghostly apparitions using his Shade magic.
Classic Villain: He is the first major Evil Counterpart of Fairy Tail's master Makarov, evil with his dark clothes and powers, and is ultimately thwarted by his inability to grasp what makes Fairy Tail superior.
Curb-Stomp Battle: 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.
Dark Is Evil: 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.
Didn't Think This Through: 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.
Even Evil Has Standards: 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 Groin Attack.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: 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 True Companions until it is too late.
Evil Counterpart: To Makarov. Both are Wizard Saints and the respective masters of their guild. Jose is a younger Smug Super who happily starts wars for petty reasons, while Makarov is a much older Humble Hero who only raises his sword to protect his "children".
Evil Is Petty: 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.
Evil Sorcerer: 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.
Fatal Flaw: He is done in by his own inability to accept that there is Always Someone Better 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.
Faux Affably Evil: He wears a thin facade of politeness that crumbles away at the smallest nudge.
Green-Eyed Monster: Though he denies it has anything to do with his motivations, he's clearly jealous of Fairy Tail's rise to fame and wants to stamp his rivals out once and for all.
Groin Attack: 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.
Light/Darkness Juxtaposition: His duel with Makarov in a nutshell.
Made of Iron: 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.
Manly Facial Hair: Has a thin horseshoe moustache, and is a Wizard Saint.
Master of Illusion: 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.
The Minion Master: 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 perfectly expendable.
Mythical Motifs: Phantoms, even moreso than his guild. His 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.
Noodle Incident: Jose's personal grudge with Makarov began with an event that somehow involved alcohol.
Obviously Evil: A wizard's hat and bat wings are just the start.
Oh, Crap!: When he sees Makarov invoke Fairy Law.
Purple Is Powerful: His magic has a purple aura, and he is powerful enough that it takes Makarov using Fairy Law to defeat him.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: 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 another Wizard Saint to fight him.
The Rival: 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.
Smug Super: 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.
There's No Kill like Overkill: He tries to obliterate Fairy Tail's guildhall with the magic cannon Jupiter, and later all of Magnolia with Abyss Break, just because he wants them to hand over a girl and use money she doesn't have.
Underestimating Badassery: He believed himself to be just as strong or stronger than Makarov. He was wrong. Dead wrong.
Villainous Breakdown: Jose loses it when his plans to destroy Fairy Tail fail and he's at Makarov's mercy.
Villainous Lineage: 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.
Villain Respect: 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.
We Have Reserves: 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.
Weakened by the Light: His Shade Magic is implied to be this, which puts him at a disadvantage against Makarov, who mainly uses that kind of magic.
You Could Have Used Your Powers for Good!: 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.

Element 4 in General

Back for the Finale: They make a brief appearance in the Alvarez Empire arc to lend Lucy their magic power and seal Acnologia within Fairy Sphere.
Classical Elements Ensemble: Each member uses magic based on one of the four classical Western elements: Aria uses Airspace magic, Juvia uses Water magic, Sol uses Earth and Sand magic, and Totomaru uses Rainbow Fire magic.
The Dreaded: 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.
Elite Four: They are the strongest team in their guild, and their magic is required to cast the Unholy Nuke Abyss Break.
High-Heel–Face Turn: Juvia is the only female of the group, and the only one to have a full Heel–Face Turn.
Meaningful Name: They're a Classical Elements Ensemble named "Element 4". It doesn't get much simpler than that.
Theme Naming: Each of the Element 4 is named after their respective elements, except for Totomaru: "Aria" is Italian for "air"; "Juvia" is derived from lluvia, the Spanish word for "rain"; and "Sol" is French for "soil".

Aria

Voiced by: Katsui Taira (Japanese), Chris Rager (English)^note

Aria is the blindfolded leader of the Element 4 who constantly cries over everything. He uses a special form of air magic called Kuki^noteAirspace that allows him to drain his opponents' magic and strength.

Bald of Evil: He has a big dome head, and has no trouble stealing the lives of others.
Blow You Away: Aria's magic isn't so much "wind" as it is "air".
The Brute: Is the most physically imposing of the Element Four, and has powerful Air Magic that he uses in a fairly brutal manner.
Character Catchphrase: "It's so sad!"
Curb-Stomp Battle: Aria at his strongest is 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.
Dirty Coward: 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.
Fat Bastard: Overweight and a Dirty Coward working for a guild that kidnapped an innocent girl for ransom, he definitely qualifies for this trope.
Inelegant Blubbering: He's almost always seen crying, and it's never pretty.
"Instant Death" Radius: Those trapped in his ultimate Kuki spell, Zero, are said to be drained of their lives.
It Only Works Once: 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.
Magical Eye: 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.
Mana Drain: One of his ultimate attacks is called Drain, a bane for any opposing wizard who can't avoid it in time.
Mighty Glacier: Most of his fights consist of him dishing out attacks without moving an inch.
Ocular Gushers: His tears gush out from beneath his blindfold.
Power Limiter: He wears a blindfold to contain his power. Naturally, he has to take it off when fighting the likes of Erza.

Juvia Lockser

See her entry on the Sirius Team page.

Sol

Voiced by: Eiji Sekiguchi (Japanese), Barry Yandell (English)^note

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.

Break Them by Talking: He attempts to do this to Elfman by taunting him over the death of his younger sister Lisanna. The anime combines it with pure Mind Rape, forcing Elfman to relive his memories of Lisanna's death. It's all for nothing when Elfman's Big Brother Instinct (or so to speak) kicks in to protect his other sister, Mirajane.
Character Catchphrase: "Non, non, non!"^noteNo, no, no!
Curb-Stomp Battle: Sol is at the wrong end of it when Elfman activates his Full-Body Takeover.
Dirty Coward: In the anime, after witnessing Elfman's transformation in a huge monster, he tries to tell him that all that 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. It doesn't work.
Dishing Out Dirt: He specializes in earth magic, merging his body into the ground and pummeling his enemies with rocks.
Gratuitous French: 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)
High-Class Glass: He wears a monocle to symbolize his status as one of Phantom Lord's top-ranking wizards.
Muscles Are Meaningless: Despite his skinny build, he's easily able to overpower Elfman's human form. Lampshaded by Elfman himself for underestimating his strength.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: 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.
Oh, Crap!: He's utterly shocked when Elfman unlocks his Full-Body Takeover.
Rubber Man: He can wrap his entire body around Elfman's arm.
Shapeshifter Guilt Trip: 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.
Taken for Granite: Sol's most powerful spell in the anime, "Merci la Vie", transforms his opponent into rock while additionally forcing said opponent to relive the worst moments of their life for all eternity.

Totomaru

Voiced by: Daisuke Endo (Japanese), Justin Cook (English)^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.

Katanas Are Just Better: 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.
Odd Name Out: 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.
Oh, Crap!: 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.
Playing with Fire: His control over every manner of fire allows him to turn Natsu's fire attacks against himself. He can also create rainbow-colored flames that 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.
Retired Badass: He becomes a magic teacher after the Time Skip, even teaching Romeo the same magic he uses.
Sore Loser: He doesn't take losing to Natsu very well to the point that he doesn't mention him in fire magic classes.
Technicolor Fire: 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

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.

Cait Shelter in General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cait_shelter.png

Ancient Order of Protectors: Subverted. Only their master Robaul was tasked with guarding Nirvana for 400 years; he created the rest of the guild to give Wendy some friends after Mystogan left her in Robaul's care.
Animal Motif: Cats, being the symbol of the guild.
Forgotten Fallen Friend: Subverted. 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 Alvarez Empire arc, when she and her team disguise themselves as Cait Shelter members while infiltrating the empire.
Magical Native American: The entire guild is styled after Native American tribespeople.
Tomato in the Mirror: 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.
We Hardly Knew Ye: They're all said to have individual personalities, but none of them are identified even as Wendy calls out their names as they fade away.

Voiced by: Kazuya Tatekabe (Japanese), Bill Flynn (English)^note

Robaul is Cait Shelter's master. He is actually the ghost of the last remaining member of the Nirvit tribe, refusing to rest until Nirvana is destroyed.

Ancient Keeper: Being the creator of Nirvana, he is forced to watch over the sealed magic until someone is able to destroy it.
The Atoner: He created the morality-switching Nirvana to end all war and usher in an era of peace. However, it had Gone Horribly Right as its effects took hold on his own people and led them to slaughter themselves to extinction, leaving himself as the Sole Survivor. For this, he is willing to get completely obliterated by Nirvana as atonement for creating it.
Barred from the Afterlife: As a ghost, he is unable pass over until the guild alliance destroys Nirvana.
Character Catchphrase: "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.
Cool Old Guy: Despite being dead, he creates an entire guild of illusory people just to give a little girl a home.
Dead All Along: 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.
Inconsistent Spelling: His name is spelled as "Robaul" in the official manga translation, and "Roubaul" by Funimation.
Large Ham: He randomly screams "NABURA!!!" with gusto.
Last of His Kind: He was the Sole Survivor of the massacre that wiped out the Nirvit people. And that was before he died.
Master of Illusion: 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.
Miniature Senior Citizens: He's a very old man with a tiny stature, being just barely taller than Wendy, a 12-year-old girl.
Not Afraid to Die: When a fully charged Nirvana comes to Cait Shelter's doorstep, he decides to calmly Face Death with Dignity if it means atoning for creating it.
Parental Substitute: He raised Wendy and Carla after Mystogan left her in his care, making him the closest thing Wendy ever had to a parent since Grandeeney disappeared.

Twilight Ogre

Twilight Ogre is a guild that establishes itself as the strongest in Magnolia over the Time Skip. Fairy Tail becomes indebted to the guild after losing their strongest wizards on Sirius Island. By the time the wizards return from Sirius Island, Fairy Tail quickly gets rid of their debt.

Twilight Ogre in General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twilight_ogre.png

Bad Samaritan: 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 Cowards: 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.
Karmic Butt-Monkey: Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane pay them back seven years worth of the same abuse they put Fairy Tail through with a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.
Moving the Goalposts: 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.
Mythical Motifs: Ogres, being a guild full of angry, brutish thugs that constantly torment Fairy Tail to get more money.

Guild Master

Banaboster

Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Doug Goodrich (English)

Banaboster is Twilight Ogre's master.

Bullying a Dragon: 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 Wizard Saint with a known record of being a Papa Wolf and flanked by two 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 pay exactly what he's owed.
Cigar Chomper: He's always seen smoking a cigar.
Gonk: He's quite unpleasant to look at, especially his bizarrely shaped chin.
Large and in Charge: He throws his huge size around to show others who's boss. Unfortunately for him, Makarov easily turns the tables on him.
Loan Shark: 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.
Oh, Crap!: When he realizes he's pissed off three Fairy Tail wizards you'd hate to have as your enemy.
Original Position Fallacy: Banaboster angrily claims to Makarov that his guild deserves payback for Fairy Tail roughing up five of his men while still being debtors, only to crap his pants when Makarov agrees and notes by that logic, Twilight Ogre owes Fairy Tail payback for seven years worth of property damage and harm to their guildmates. Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane proceed to collect.
Sinister Shades: They're about as shady as his character.

Membership

Thibault

Voiced by: Shawn Winchell (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teebo-ftanime_2424.jpg

Thibault is Fairy Tail's monthly debt collector who comes to the guild with his gang to trash the place when they please, at least until Fairy Tail's strongest members return.

Blow You Away: He can extinguish Romeo's flame magic with a single puff of wind from his mouth.
Carry a Big Stick: His weapon of choice is a giant, spiked club.
Cheshire Cat Grin: He has a wide grin plastered on his face, even when he gets his ass handed to him.
Inconsistent Spelling: His name is spelled "Teebo" in the Funimation dub and other fan translations due to the pronunciation of his name in Japanese.
Screams Like a Little Girl: He gives a high-pitched squeal when Natsu comes in and kicks his ass while he's harassing his friends.

Raven Tail

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 Time Skip, they emerge from the shadows as an official guild to participate in the Grand Magic Games, only to disband shortly after their loss.

Raven Tail in General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raven_tail.png

Animal Motifs: 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).
Deliberately Bad Example: Raven Tail is a downright despicable bunch who loves to Kick the Dog for its own sake, making Saber Tooth look like a case of Good is Not Nice in comparison. This doesn't last when Saber Tooth's master proves to be just as bad.
Evil Counterpart: 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.
For the Evulz: Whenever they're not trying to further Ivan's Evil Plan, they still like to Kick the Dog for the sake of it.
Hate Sink: 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.
Inconsistent Spelling: Uniquely, the guild's name is written out as "Raven's Tail" in the anime and Animax dub.
Informed Ability: According to Ivan, the guild was specifically designed to defeat Fairy Tail by exploiting their weaknesses. Judging by how Laxus single-handedly defeats them all, one wouldn't think so.
Jerkass: They're a completely despicable bunch where Kicking the Dog and dicking Fairy Tail around are the norm.
Karma Houdini Warranty: 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.
Laser-Guided Karma: After spending the Grand Magic Games cheating their way to the top and messing up Fairy Tail's performance in the tournament For the Evulz, it all comes back to bite them on the third day when Laxus single-handedly thrashes the entire guild with a vengeance, disqualifying Raven Tail from the rest of the tournament and resulting in their dissolution.
Obviously Evil: 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.
The Mole: Gajeel pretends to be a Raven Tail member to spy on them for Makarov.
Put on a Prison Bus: 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.
Smug Smiler: A staple character trait for every member is a condescending smile that riles up Fairy Tail every time they see it.
Smug Snake: 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.
Villainy-Free Villain: Despite being massive Jerkasses 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.

Guild Master

Ivan Dreyar / Alexei

Ivan Dreyar, a.k.a. Alexei

Voiced by: Masaharu Sato (Japanese), Bruce Carey (English)^noteOther languages: Eric Peter (French)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ivan_dreyar.png

^{Click here to see his Alexei disguise}

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.

Abusive Dad: 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.
Ain't Too Proud to Beg: After his elites fall, Ivan tries guilt-tripping Laxus by bringing up their familial bond to avoid a pounding. Laxus 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.
Antagonistic Offspring: He actively defied Makarov for hiding Lumen Histoire from him.
Archnemesis Dad: He has a special enmity with his son Laxus during the Grand Magic Games, having been an Abusive Dad 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.
Arc Villain: 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.
Bad Boss: He violently beats Flare offstage for her poor performance against Lucy due to the fact she needed outside help to win.
Beard of Evil: A noticeable black goatee, which fits with his diabolical nature.
Big Bad Wannabe: 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 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 various antagonistic forces at the 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 Makarov deep down had faith he could change his ways on his own and so didn't step in earlier.
Black Sheep: 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 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.
Casting a Shadow: The anime gives him a few darkness-based spells that he uses on Laxus.
Dark Is Evil: He's the vilest and greediest of the Dreyar family, and stands out among them with his darker colored hair, skin, and outfit.
Dirty Coward: He's completely smug when he has his elites at his back and facing down a pissed-off Laxus, but the moment Laxus proceeds to thrash those elites in seconds he's left wetting himself and begging Laxus to show him mercy for being his father despite seconds prior having no issue with beating down his own son.
Even Evil Can Be Loved: 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. 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.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: 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.
Evil Sounds Raspy: He speaks with a raspy, withered voice. It becomes even raspier when disguised as Alexei.
Family Theme Naming: 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.
Gold-Colored Superiority: 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 decimates said elites, he's begging Laxus not to hurt him because they're father and son.
Inconsistent Spelling: The original English translation by Del Rey spelled his name as "Iwan", a direct transliteration of his Japanese name.
Lecherous Licking: He indulges in a bit of this during his debut appearance in the manga.
Loose Lips: Ivan blabbing the truth about Lumen Histoire to the rest of Raven Tail—including and especially to Obra—is almost certainly how Zeref found out about it, eventually setting the stage for the Alvarez Empire arc.
Malevolent Masked Man:
- 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 dragon transformation and he loses the mask.
Master of Illusion: 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 curb-stomping Laxus just so he can have a moment to reveal his plans to his son.
Missing Mom: His mother and (presumably) Makarov's wife is totally absent from the series.
Our Souls Are Different: 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 Kamehame Hadoken-like beam.
Paper Master: His magic gives him control over shikigami, which are mystical paper dolls originating from Japanese folklore.
Pimped-Out Cape: He wears a big, flashy cloak draped over his huge shoulder plates in the Grand Magic Games.
Pointy Ears: A clear indicator that this guy is bad news.
Scary Impractical Armor: 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 Laxus's attack.
Shut Up, Kirk!: Laxus reasons that Ivan spent the entire Time Skip 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.
Smug Smiler: He is almost never seen without a smug grin plastered on his face, at least before his Villainous Breakdown.
Villain Respect: He's genuinely impressed when Cana is able to use Fairy Glitter, one of the Three Great Fairy Magics.
Villainous Breakdown: 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 Gajeel's espionage. Things keep going downhill as Laxus 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.
Villainous Demotivator: 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.

Membership

Obra

Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Tyler Walker (English)

Obra is a bizarre-looking wizard with the power to instantly empty other wizards' magical energy. He is accompanied by a little imp, who happens to be the real Obra controlling a puppet.

Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is bluish-gray. Downplayed when it turns out he's just a puppet.
Anti-Magic: Obra's magic works by instantly emptying the magical energy of the target, leaving them exhausted.
Black Eyes of Evil: His eyes are pitch black, like those of a bird.
Combat Pragmatist: Even before it was his turn to fight in the Grand Magic Games—attacking Wendy before the competition even started, and draining Lucy's magic just before she can use Urano Metria on Flare.
The Dog Was the Mastermind: The Obra known in the Grand Magic Games is just a puppet animated by his pet imp, the real Obra.
Gag Nose: His nose is practically a pointed beak.
Karma Houdini: 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.
Let's Get Dangerous!: He's said by his teammates to only fight well when he's forced to be. And until that happens, aside from his Anti-Magic powers, he's pretty weak.
Marionette Master: Implied since Obra controls that puppet body from the outside.
The Mole: 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.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Before Art Evolution kicks in, he's shown to have extra arms under his cloak in the manga.
Parrot Pet Position: Obra sits like this on his own puppet.
Right-Hand Attack Dog: Subverted. The small, black imp on his shoulder who does the fighting for him is actually his true self.
Slasher Smile: The imp's default expression is this.
The Stoic: Nothing can faze him. Makes sense since he's a puppet.
The Worf Effect: Justified and invoked. 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.
Would Hurt a Child: He has no problems with assaulting Wendy just before the Grand Magic Games begin.

Flare Corona

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō (Japanese), Alex Moore (English)^note

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.

Ambiguously Gay: 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.
The Atoner: 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.
Ax-Crazy: She is very violent and very insane during the Grand Magic Games. It's toned down during the Sun Village arc.
Back for the Finale: Flare is seen as one of the many wizards across Ishgal who lend their magic to seal Acnologia away within Fairy Sphere.
Big Damn Heroes:
- She saves Lucy and Wendy from being sniped during their fight against Sylph Labyrinth in the Sun Village arc, evening out the numbers for the fight.
- In the anime adaptation of the 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 never made it into the TV anime, instead getting a separate OVA adaptation, this is what convinces Lucy that Flare can be trusted.
Braids of Action: Inverted. She keeps her extremely long hair braided and tied together behind her back when not fighting and has to undo her braids in order to use her Prehensile Hair magic.
Buxom Beauty Standard: Despite her creepy demeanor and appearance, her large breasts get her to be considered attractive In-Universe. Her chest is further emphasized by the fact a Navel-Deep Neckline is present in all her outfits and her Sun Village tattoo is located on the upper part of her right breast.
Color Motif: Red, as she's a redhead, with red eyes and who is always dressed in red clothes.
Creepy Good: Even after her Heel–Face Turn, she still keeps a limp gait and an empty stare, and her obsession with Lucy nearly reaches Stalker without a Crush levels.
Creepy Loner Girl: She's a mellow and lonely girl who was raised by giants and thus has 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.
Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Her sunken eyes help her stand out among most other female characters.
Curtains Match the Window: She has red eyes to go with her red hair.
Dark Action Girl: She gives Lucy a tough one-on-one fight in the Grand Magic Games before she resorts to cheating.
D-Cup Distress: Played for Laughs. When she gets de-aged to a child and loses her chest, she's happy she can now "see her feet again".
Dirty Coward: Not only does she 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 she deeply regretted her actions and apologizes.
Evil Is Hammy: She seems to enjoy herself a bit too much while torturing Lucy, though not so much when they later fight side by side.
Evil Redhead: She's more mellow and creepy than most examples, but she's still an unpleasant person who likes to make Lucy suffer. She eventually redeems herself, however.
Fiery Redhead: She has long crimson hair that has a short temper that when triggered turns her into an Ax-Crazy maniac.
Flaming Hair: Her signature magic Crimson Hair allows her to not only 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.
The Gadfly: 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 Sun Village arc, where she jokingly says she was stalking Lucy in secret ever since their last meeting.
Godiva Hair: Her hair is conveniently long enough to cover up all her naughty bits when she makes a surprise appearance in Fairy Tail's bathhouse.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has an X-shaped scar on her shoulder.
Guest-Star Party Member: She fights alongside Fairy Tail during the 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.
Heel Realization: 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.
High-Heel–Face Turn: Being the only known female in Raven Tail, she is also the only one to switch sides after her guild disbands.
It's Personal: She helps Lucy and Wendy fight Sylph Labyrinth and find the Eternal Flame at Sun Village because that's where she was raised.
Laughing Mad: 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.
Limp and Livid: Her default stance, which compliments her perpetually demented and creepy personality.
Meaningful Name: 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.
Ms. Fanservice: She has a fairly revealing front, a curvaceous figure, and even gets a Public Bathhouse Scene where all she has is Godiva Hair, though the general idea is spoiled by that creepy gaze of hers.
Navel-Deep Neckline: Her dress has a plunging neckline that reaches her stomach. It helps that her guild tattoo is on her right breast.
The Nicknamer: She seems to have a habit of addressing others outside her guild by the color of their hair; so far she has called Lucy "Blondie", Wendy "Blue-hair", and Natsu "Cherry-hair". For good measure, she calls herself "Redhead".
Nobody Touches the Hair: 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.
No Social Skills: Having been 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 Ax-Crazy Dark Action Girl. She got slightly better after she befriended Lucy.
Oh, Crap!: 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.
Peer Pressure Makes You Evil: She Used to Be a Sweet Kid, 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.
Pet the Dog: 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.
Power Perversion Potential: Her using her Prehensile Hair in the same manner as Naughty Tentacles 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 Imagine Spot of Flare using her hair to restrain her while giving her a Shameful Strip and twisting her nipples.
Prehensile Hair: 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 change its shape and set it ablaze.
Psycho Lesbian: 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.
Psychopathic Womanchild: 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.
Psychotic Smirk: Her default expression throughout the Grand Magic Games, demonstrating that there's something rather "off" about her. She starts using other kinds of smiles when she shows up at Sun Village.
Raised by the Supernatural: 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 No Social Skills 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 Sun Village arc to help them in their time of need.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has red eyes and if you ever tick her off, these will be the last thing you'll ever see.
Sexy Backless Outfit: Her red dress leaves most of her back exposed.
Sexy Slit Dress: Her red outfit has a long slit on the side, exposing her legs.
Shaping Your Attacks: Her Wolf Fang attack turns her Prehensile Hair into a wolf.
Stalker without a Crush: Subverted. 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.
Tears of Joy: She breaks into tears when the giants at her village happily welcome her back home after she'd run away.
Token Good Teammate: 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.
Weak, but Skilled: 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 (a subtle indication that this magic comes from Atlas Flame), Flare can prove to be a particularly tough opponent to beat.
When She Smiles: She replaces her usual Psychotic Smirk 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.
Would Hurt a Child: She threatens to harm young Asuka to keep Lucy from fighting back in their match. However, it's later implied that her guild put her up to it.
Zombie Gait: 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.

For the Evulz: 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.
Hellish Pupils: He has slitted pupils, fitting for a snake-man.
Meaningful Name: "Kuro hebi" translates into "black snake" in Japanese. However, he claims that it's not his real name.

Snake People: He's a slender man with slitted eyes, a whispery voice, and scale-patterned pants.
The Unreveal: He says that "Kurohebi" is just a nickname, and makes a wager with Toby to reveal his real name if he loses their match. However, the name remains a mystery since Kurohebi wins.

Nullpudding

Voiced by: Eiji Miyashita (Japanese), Brad Jackson (English)^note

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

Accent Adaptation: He speaks with a Southern American accent in the English dub not unlike Foghorn Leghorn.
Acrofatic: Although he isn't really fat, he's more agile than he looks.
Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is purple.
Beard of Evil: Has a double spiked goatee.
The Brute: He is Raven Tail's physically toughest member, and his Needle Magic makes him dangerous in melee range.
Cheshire Cat Grin: His expression is permanently fixed in a big, seedy grin.
Combat Pragmatist: 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.
Genius Bruiser: 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.
Inconsistent Spelling: His name card in the anime spells his name as "Nalpudding".
Lightning Bruiser: He packs a mean punch with his spiked fists, and is also deceptively agile.
Oh, Crap!: 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.
Spikes of Villainy: 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.

Mermaid Heel

An all-female guild that participates in the Grand Magic Games.

Mermaid Heel in General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mermaid_heel.png

Amazon Brigade: All of their known members are female, with Millianna explicitly describing the guild as for girls only. In one of the official novels (which was later adapted for the anime), Natsu and Gray are required to dress up as women for a guild exchange program.
The Ghost: Mermaid Heel's Guild Master never appeared in the series.
Ms. Fanservice: Most of the guild's older members are quite physically attractive. The finale even sees them becoming the exclusive models of Weekly Sorcerer.
Mythical Motifs: Mermaids, as befitting an Amazon Brigade.
Shoo Out the Clowns: 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.

Kagura Mikazuchi

Voiced by: Saori Hayami (Japanese), Jenny Ledel (English)^note

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" 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.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: 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.
The Ace: 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.
Adaptation Dye-Job: Her hair goes from black in the manga to purple in the anime, the exact opposite of Minerva.
Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: She is tall, dark-haired, attractive, and acts stoically most of the time.
Ambiguously Gay: 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 Alvarez Empire arc just to "make up" for "kissing" Jellal (i.e., giving him CPR).
Arch-Enemy: 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.
Berserker Tears: Kagura flies into a tearful rage against Erza after realizing Simon saved her at the cost of his own life seven years earlier.
Best Served Cold: 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.
Big Brother Worship: Her older brother Simon was everything she had when they were younger since they were dirt poor. 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.
Blue Is Heroic: Her magic is a blue aura, and even at her worst was a Hero Antagonist with an understandable grudge against Jellal.
Broken Bird: 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.
Buxom Beauty Standard: 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.
Cant Hold Their Liquor: A Played for Laughs example. Despite her serious demeanor, she has little alcohol tolerance and gets plastered pretty quickly during the post-games banquet.
Captain Ersatz: Her name, black-haired (in the manga) Hime Cut, white outfit with gold trim, and use of a katana provide a striking resemblance to Ikaruga from Senran Kagura.
Cherry Tapping: She doesn't even need to unsheathe her sword to beat them.
Clipped-Wing Angel: 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.
The Comically Serious: Due to her usual serious and stoic demeanor, it's Played for Laughs whenever she gets into bizarre or unusual situations, such as getting drunk at a party or being embarrassed at having to wear a dress.
Dark and Troubled Past: 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. Everything went downhill from there.
Defeat by Modesty: During the Alvarez Empire arc, DiMaria destroys Kagura's kimono in front of two guilds worth of onlookers and forcing her into a Naked Freak-Out. The incident leaves an impact on her pride not only due to the exposure factor but because of how outmatched she felt by DiMaria.
Defrosting Ice Queen: 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.
Designated Bullet: Kagura forges her Fugutaiten to personally kill Jellal.
Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: 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.
Forgotten Friend, New Foe: 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.
Fragile Speedster: 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.
Game Face: She usually appears with closed, contemplative eyes. When her eyes are opened, she looks much more angry-looking in battle.
The Good, the Bad, and the Evil: She plays the revenge and rage-driven "Bad" to Erza's noble "Good" and Minerva's callous "Evil" during their three-way match.
Gravity Master: 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.
Hairstyle Inertia: Flashbacks to her childhood show she had the very same Hime Cut she had as a child that she has as an adult. She even wore her white ribbon in the same way.
Hates Wearing Dresses: While at the Grand Magic Ball, she complains about having to wear such a Pimped-Out Dress and walking in high-heels.
Hero Antagonist: Kagura's initial antagonism during the first half of the Grand Magic Games arc stems from her planned Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Jellal, which puts her into a serious personal conflict against Erza.
Hime Cut: She has blunt bangs, cheek-length sidelocks, and waist-length straight hair; a traditional and elegant hairstyle befitting for a Lady of War with a katana.
Iaijutsu Practitioner: Played With. She 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.
I Gave My Word: Kagura holds Yukino's life in her hands as a result of their pre-battle wager. Kagura regards her win as Yukino's life belonging to her, even after Yukino returns to Saber Tooth for good.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Minerva stabs Kagura in the gut with her own sword when the latter helps Erza during their duel.
Implausible Fencing Powers: She can cut through almost anything (even armor that managed to withstand a castle-leveling attack) without unsheathing her sword!
I Owe You My Life: 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.
It's Personal: Her resentment against Jellal and Erza is very personal, since both are connected to her brother Simon's death.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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.
Katanas Are Just Better: Her Fugutaiten is one of the strongest weapons seen in the series. She even fights with it unsheathed most of the time, and when she unsheathes it, it's portrayed as an Absurdly Sharp Blade.
Lady of War: She's one of the country's top-ranking swordswomen, but never loses her air of calm or grace, at least until she's provoked into drawing her sword.
The Leader: 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.
Master Swordsman: She's an extremely skilled swordfighter, even being able to use her sheathed sword to 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.
Not So Stoic: 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.
One Degree of Separation: Kagura spends her childhood in Rosemary Village, along with Simon and Erza.
Onee-sama: She fulfills this role in her guild, especially towards Millianna who, incidentally, is actually older than her.
Perpetual Frowner: Her default expression is a stern frown.
Person of Mass Destruction: When Fugutaiten is unsheathed, Kagura can cleave through anything within her range, including an entire city.
The Power of Hate: 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.
Proper Tights with a Skirt: She wears a skirt with tight pants underneath, fitting with her modest fashion sense.
Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She's a modest person who dresses sensibly, and the only times she's played for fanservice is at her expense, such as suffering Clothing Damage in battle, being 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 Time Stands Still powers to publicly strip Kagura naked, she has a Naked Freak-Out.
Revenge Before Reason: A Played With 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.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Kagura's Start of Darkness 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.
Sheath Strike: 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 Iaijutsu Practitioner 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.
Signature Headgear: She always wears a white headband with a ribbon tied at the middle in a bow that resembles bunny ears.
Start of Darkness: Being told of Simon's death by Millianna causes Kagura to instigate her seven-year-long Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Jellal.
The Stoic: 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.
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Though Kagura's an aloof woman who gives off a stern, unapproachable aura thanks to her Perpetual Frowner 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 Cool Big Sis figure.
Tears of Remorse: 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.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: 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.
This Is Unforgivable!: She initially hates Jellal and Erza for their involvement in Simon's death.
Use Their Own Weapon Against Them: After dropping her sword to help Erza during their match, Minerva picks it up and non-fatally stabs her In the Back.
Unstoppable Rage: During her match in the Grand Magic Games, Kagura briefly goes berserk upon discovering Erza's involvement in Simon's demise.
The Worf Barrage:
- 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 Etherious, who have Super-Toughness and certain resistance to magic as part of the package.
The Worf Effect: 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 Time Stands Still powers and Larcade blocking her supposedly unstoppable katana with his bare fingers.
You Can't Go Home Again: Her hometown of Rosemary Village was destroyed by Zeref cultists during her childhood.

Millianna

Voiced by: Yukiyo Fujii (Japanese), Alexis Tipton (English)^note

^{Click here to see her pre-Time Skip appearance}

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.

Anime Hair: Dolled up in the style of cat ears.
Anti-Magic: Her magic, Nekousoku Tube, lets her bind people and restrain their magic.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Gets distracted by anything cat-related. Unfortunately for her, this becomes her undoing in her fight with Natsu.
Badass Adorable: A cute Cat Girl who kicks ass after enduring so many hardships all her life.
Badass in Distress: Although a competent fighter, she gets kidnapped by Minerva during the Grand Magic Games, much to Erza and Kagura's rage.
Beware the Silly Ones: 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.
Broken Bird: She may be a Kind Hearted Cat Lover and a Genki Girl, 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.
The Bus Came Back: While Erza's other friends were Put on a Bus following the Tower of Heaven arc, Millianna returned for the Grand Magic Games and became something of a major character.
Cat Girl: Has the looks and behavior of one, though she's not really one.
Character Catchphrase: "Feelin' spiffy!"
Cloudcuckoolander: Comes off this way because of her cat-loving tendencies.
Collared by Fashion: She wears a choker with a bell attached unto it.
Cuteness Proximity: 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.
Dumb Is Good: She's not the smartest member of her team, but she does have a good heart.
Fatal Flaw: 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.
Facial Markings: She has red marks on her face resembling cat whiskers.
Femme Fatalons: The anime reveals that she has sharpened nails beneath her gloves, which she uses as her Secret Weapon.
Genki Girl: She's almost always bounding with energy. "Genki" is even a part of her Japanese Character Catchphrase.
Heel–Face Turn: Like the rest of Erza's Childhood Friends, Millianna was tricked by Jellal into turning against Erza and forming his Quirky Miniboss Squad. After Jellal's deception is revealed, she and the others go back to being her friends.
Hypocritical Humor: 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 Cat Girl.
I Just Want to Be Badass: Joined Mermaid Heel so she could make herself stronger and independent. However, she still requires more training.
Improbable Weapon User: Her Nekousoku Tube can be used like a whip.
In the Hood: She is reintroduced during the Grand Magic Games with her hood up to cover her face, keeping her identity hidden to surprise Erza.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: Millianna absolutely refuses to hurt anything that resembles a cat—even a poorly disguised Natsu.
Ms. Fanservice: After the Time Skip, Millianna abandons her wholesome, innocent outfit for a midriff-baring Dominatrix bikini with long gloves and kneesocks.
Older Than She Looks: She looks up to Kagura like her Onee-sama, but the fact of the matter is that they're the same age, with Millianna being slightly older.
Overshadowed by Awesome: 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 One-Man Army 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 obliterates the measuring device while getting the maximum reading).
Perky Female Minion: She kept her Genki Girl attitude even as she served as Jellal's henchwoman at the Tower of Heaven.
Revenge Before Reason: 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.
Self-Disposing Villain: 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.
Sexy Cat Person: She combines her feline theme with heavy sexualisation after the Time Skip.
She's All Grown Up: She was more of an adorable teenager pre-Time Skip, but after seven years, she's grown into Ms. Fanservice.
Slasher Smile: Her perpetual smile becomes this when she's angry.
Stripperiffic: Her outfit after the second Time Skip doesn't exactly leave much to the imagination.
Took a Level in Badass: Her fighting skill gets a tremendous boost after the time skip, and when she joins Mermaid Heel, though 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.
Took a Level in Kindness: She went from being a smug villain to a kinder girl thanks to Erza's encouragement.
Weak, but Skilled: 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 Time Skip, yet she continues to act like a childish Genki Girl.

No Name Given: Apart from the name "Vanish", they have no known names of their own.
Oh, Crap!: The average man's typical reaction to seeing Natsu unfazed by fire.
Perpetual Frowner: The older brother only cracks a smile when he thinks he has Natsu beat.
Playing with Fire: The older brother specializes in fighting fire wizards, as his frying pan can absorb flames and send them back empowered to the caster. Naturally, this doesn't work on Natsu, a wizard impervious to fire magic.
Sibling Team: The fact that they're brothers is a part of their team name, and they fight in tandem with each other.
Sinister Schnoz: The younger brother has a giant hooked nose.
The Stoic: The older brother has a confident calm most of the time. Then he meets Natsu...
Underestimating Badassery: They've heard the rumors of Salamander, but to them, he's just an average Joe who knows a few fire tricks. Then they make the mistake of thinking they can use his fire against him.
Wrong Genre Savvy: They are well aware of the Squishy Wizard trope, and as such trained to be Badass Normal while using means to counter magic. Unfortunately for them, this just happens to be an universe full of insanely powerful Kung-Fu Wizards, Natsu included.

Sylph Labyrinth

Sylph Labyrinth is not a magic guild, but a treasure hunter guild that specializes in using advanced weaponry and shady tricks to find rare and priceless artifacts. Three of Fairy Tail's founding fathers—Yuri, Precht, and Warrod—originally hailed from this guild.

Sylph Labyrinth in General

Badass Normal: Despite having no magic whatsoever, their wits and advanced weaponry allow them to fight on par with Fairy Tail's strongest team.
Dub Name Change: In the English dub, Sniper Drake is "Drake the Sniper", Sword Hiroshi is "Hiroshi the Sword", and Hammer Rala is "Rala the Hammer".
Generation Xerox: The trio's identical great-grandfathers are shown in the anime adaptation of Fairy Tail Zero. They are also complete Jerkasses, convinced that Yuri, Precht, and Warrod's guild will crash and burn, but nevertheless figured they'd have a blast either way.
He-Man Woman Hater: They tell Lucy, Wendy, and Flare that they should be shaking their butts for them instead of fighting (Virgo complies). It's nothing short of karma, then, that the girls take them out in the next minute.
His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Their weapons—Sniper, Sword, and Hammer—are actually a part of their names, evidenced by their ancestors in the anime going by the exact same names.
Insistent Terminology: As they put it themselves, they're "treasure hunters", not "thieves".
Lack of Empathy: They care more for getting their hands on the Eternal Flame of Sun Village than the lives of the villagers, demonstrated when they attack the frozen giants just to prove their point.
Let's Get Dangerous!: They look like small fries and have their own personality quirks, but to Natsu and friends' shock, they pose a very nice challenge.
Mundanger: After beating the strongest guild in Fiore (though not without some struggle), Fairy Tail is quite shocked to find that these non-magical treasure hunters actually pose a decent challenge.
Mythical Motifs: Sylphs being a type of fairy, reflecting that like Fairy Tail, their silliness belies their actual skill. Also appropriate that they are ultimately outmatched by the fairies themselves.
No Honor Among Thieves: According to Yuri, the whole guild is nothing but a bunch of untrustworthy scumbags with the sole exception of Precht and Warrod.
One Degree of Separation: This guild turns out to be the same guild three of Fairy Tail's founding fathers came from. Not to mention, one of those founders went on to form Grimoire Heart, one of the deadliest dark guilds of its time.
Power Trio: Drake, Hiroshi, and Rala travel and fight as a team.
Quirky Miniboss Squad: They're one of the few in the series that operate independently rather than an Arc Villain, yet they are not the only obstacle in the story arc they feature in.
Treasure Hunter: Their guild's members specialize in hunting treasure for profit. They also have their own tournament, the Grand Treasure Games.
A Twinkle in the Sky: Lucy, Wendy, and Flare pull this on them upon their defeat.
Underestimating Badassery: As good of a fight they put up against Fairy Tail, they make the mistake of thinking they're just another average wizard guild.

Sniper Drake

Voiced by: Taishi Murata (Japanese), Alejandro Saab (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drake_anime.png

Drake is one of a three-man team exploring the Village of the Sun. He's the team's sniper who wields a Type 74 long-distance rifle.

Badass Bandolier: Wears one to go with the sniper motif.
Friendly Sniper: Zig-zagged. He seems like a goofy and slightly dimwitted guy, but turns into a Cold Sniper once he's actually behind the scope.
Improbable Aiming Skills: He is able to shoot down arrows fired by Sagittarius, a non-human master archer.
Near Misses: Most of his shots end up as this courtesy of Wendy's quick reflexes allowing her to Dodge the Bullet. He eventually takes out Sagittarius after a couple of Shoot the Bullet exchanges, though.
Oh, Crap!: He is so fixated on trying to provide cover for his guild mates, he doesn't notice Leo sneaking up behind him.
Shoot the Bullet: He can shoot Sagittarius's arrows out of the air, and vice versa.

Sword Hiroshi

Voiced by: Kenta Sasa (Japanese), Scott Frerichs (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiroshi.png

Hiroshi is one of a three-man team exploring the Village of the Sun. He handles a mechanical chain blade that can change length and convert into a machine gun.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: A thrust from his Chain Blade creates a shockwave that can cut down anything a few feet away from it.
Anime Hair: Has five long spikes in his hair.
Boring, but Practical: His knot-tying skill may not seem like much, but it does let him get the drop on hair magic users like Flare.
Cool Sword: An extendable chain blade that can also turn into a gun.
Insult Backfire: He calls Lucy's friends 10 years too young to be fighting treasure hunters like them. Lucy turns this on its head by calling the treasure hunters 100 years too young to be fighting wizards.
Oh, Crap!: He thinks he has Flare beat just because he tangled her hair. Too bad for him, she can extend it.
Perma-Stubble: He has hair right on the tip of his chin.
Swiss-Army Weapon: His Chain Blade can change its length and convert into a machine gun.
Unusual Eyebrows: They're shaped like reed stalks.
Verbal Tic: "Super!" At one point, he and Rala get so flustered that they switch phrases.
Weapon Across the Shoulder: His default resting position for his sword.

Hammer Rala

Voiced by: Shinnosuke Ogami (Japanese), Nick Landis (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rala_anime.png

Rala is one of a three-man team exploring the Village of the Sun. He carries a fully functional hand-shaped hammer called Stronger.

Gonk: He has a giant, blocky head.
Named Weapons: His hammer, "Stronger".
Oh, Crap!: Happens with Wendy breaking free from his weapon and literally breaking it in the process.
Power Fist: He wields a bizarre hammer that is shaped and functions like a closed hand, functionally being a power fist on the end of a stick.
Sticks to the Back: He carries his hammer on his back.
Verbal Tic: "Duuun!" At one point, he and Hiroshi get so flustered that they switch phrases.
