WARNING: SPOILERS!!!
- Alfred, Nedrick, and Zetsu, also known as the original Geek Alliance, are all widely liked due to their kind personalities, their many moments of referencing nerd-media, their surprisingly adorkable personalities, and their relatability. The latter two also get several points for their popular relationships with their girlfriends.
- Chad's status as a jock with a tiny bit of an ego but a heart of gold quickly made him one of the most popular characters. The fact he's easily one of the nicest characters on the show, that he is incredibly respectful, and just a pure personification of fun in general has only further endeared him to readers.
- Juvia's cute personality and nice interactions with most of the cast, including resident jerkass, Sage, made her a quick fan-favorite despite her lack of focus.
- Tempest is bar-none the most popular character of the entire series, due to her insane personality bringing a lot of laughs, her odd perspective on the world giving some interesting hindsight, her incredible strength and endurance bringing about some of the best fight scenes in the series, and her relationship with Zetsu easily being one of the highlights of the entire series! She's become popular enough now to be recognized by people who haven't even read the story.
- Gein is also notably popular despite having only a handful of appearances in the series, with his introduction during the merge of FMTDI actually being seen as one of the best written scenes in the season and his plotline with Gareth being an interesting twist on Black-and-White Morality.
