Fairy Tail/Characters/New Members: Difference between revisions

As the series progresses, the Fairy Tail guild sees a number of new recruits (beware, spoilers abound).

 

 

A former member of Phantom Lord's elemental magic specialist group, Element 4, where she was also known as "Juvia of the Great Sea." Her entire body is made of water, and she has the power to create and manipulate water as she chooses. She develops a huge crush on Gray while fighting him as a member of Phantom Lord, which is the main reason why she joins Fairy Tail after her old guild is disbanded.

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Anime Hair]]

* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: With Erza in the anime.

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: Do ''not'' even so much as ''think'' of harming a hair on Gray's head in her presence, or you will be [[Yandere|very]], ''[[Violently Protective Girlfriend|very]]'' [[Unstoppable Rage|sorry]].

** To be fair, she can at least tell the difference between an actual threat and a pointless scuffle. She's never attacked Natsu for his and Gray's constant fighting, because she knows that for all their bluster, [[Vitriolic Best Buds|they'd never actually hurt each other]].

** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Juvia acts like a child because she had very few opportunities to interact with people due to the constant rain. Once she gets rid of it and joins Fairy Tail, she becomes more socialized.

* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: Whenever she gets pissed, she tears whatever scene she's in to shreds.

* [[Clothing Damage]]/[[Bare Your Midriff]]: In her battle against Meredy.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: Her name comes from the word "lluvia," which is Spanish for "rain."

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Pulls one off for {{spoiler|Cana in the Laxus arc to prove that she really loves everyone in Fairy Tail. Of course, she survives}}. Doubles as her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]].

* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Thinks she is this.

* [[Important Haircut]]: Gets one of these shortly after joining the guild to signify her happiness, [[Hair Reboot|but interestingly reverts it directly after finding out that in]] [[Alternate Universe|Edolas]] [[Comically Missing the Point|Gray was in love with her and she was not]].

* [[Lady of War]]

* [[Shipping Goggles]]: In universe example. She suffers from such a bad case of this that she's absolutely convinced that she's in the middle of a [[Love Dodecahedron]].

* [[Shrinking Violet]]

** Quite obvious since the latter would be pronounced "Yubia". The Katana and anime pronounciation are clearly a "Ju".

** Also her last name. Is it "Lockser" or "Loxar"?

* [[Thinks Like a Romance Novel]]: When it comes to Gray.

* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Demanded that she should be punished by Gray after {{spoiler|failing to retrieve Zeref}}.

* [[Third Person Person]]: Dropped virtually in its entirety in the Funimation dub.

* [[Twisting the Words]]: Often, to the point that Lucy can't mention "Gray" and herself ("Lucy") in the same sentence without Juvia getting suspicious and then jealous. She also has a moment with {{spoiler|Lisanna}}.

* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

 

 

 

The Iron Dragon Slayer, also known as "Black Steel Gajeel." He was raised by the dragon Metalicana, who taught him the power to transform any part of his body into metal. He starts out as a member of Phantom Lord and Jose's right-hand man, but joins Fairy Tail after his old guild disbands. However, it takes a long time for the guild to accept him since he is responsible for destroying their old guildhall and injuring Team Shadow Gear while a member of Phantom Lord. {{spoiler|He is also a [[Double Agent]] spying on the dark guild Raven Tail for Fairy Tail.}}

 

* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Good Is Not Nice|Type III]].

* [[Arc Villain]]: In the Fairy Academy omake/OVA.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Originally introduced as Natsu's.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Gajeel's laugh is freaky. Interestingly enough, it stays creepy after he becomes one of the good guys.

** ''[http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/196100-fairy-tail/page__view__findpost__p__4682953 Some even have lists of similarities between the two.]''

* [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: As the Iron Dragon Slayer, he has some of the same abilities that Natsu does, and many that he doesn't.

* [[I'm Taking Him Home With Me]]: Towards Pantherlily.

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Kick the Dog]]: In his Phantom Lord days, he attacked Shadow Gear, Lucy, and even his own teammates if they got in the way of his attacks. Not quite [[Moral Event Horizon]], because he never used lethal force.

* {{spoiler|[[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]}}: {{spoiler|[http://www.mangareader.net/135-57084-19/fairy-tail/chapter-198.html Yes, really.] Though, it may be just because it's Pantherlily.}}

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Same reason as Natsu.

* [[Red Baron]]: In Phantom Lord, he was known as "Black Steel" Gajeel.

* {{spoiler|[[Reverse Mole]]}}: {{spoiler|Ivan thinks that he's using Gajeel to spy on Fairy Tail for him, but it turns out he's a [[Double Agent]] spying on him for Fairy Tail.}}

* [[Rival Turned Evil]]: Inverted. He starts out as Natsu's [[Evil Counterpart]] and is currently his rival.

* [[Sixth Ranger]]: If [[The Medic|Wendy]] is becoming the [[Tagalong Kid]] to [[Five-Man Band|Team Natsu]], then he also certainly seems to be slowly becoming this.

* [[Slasher Smile]]: Smiles from Gajeel always show teeth. ''Big [[Fangs Are Evil|teeth]].''

* [[Spam Attack]]: His Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs.

* [[Sword and Sorcerer]]: With Levy. He's the sword, despite being a wizard as well.

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: A fairly mild example when it comes to the snark but he does have his moments, especially with Natsu. He's definitely tall and dark, though.

* [[The Nicknamer]]: Among other things, he's been noted to call Natsu "Salamander", Lucy "Bunny Girl", and Lily "Black Cat".

* [[This Is a Drill]]: Karma Demon: Iron Spiral

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Even after joining Fairy Tail and being marginally accepted, he still seems to be the guild's resident [[Ax Crazy]].

* [[Tsundere]]: Some fans think that this is an apt description of his relationship with Fairy Tail [[Ship Tease|and Levy]].

** The anime seems to agree.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: As [[The Cutie|Levy]] and [[The Chick|Lucy]] can attest to.

** The anime takes this [[Up to Eleven]]. In the manga, when Lucy is captured Gajeel ties her to the wall and chucks knives near her head. Harsh, but intimidating rather than damaging. In the anime, [[Family-Unfriendly Violence|he just straight-out wails on her]].

* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: To Yomazu and Kawazu.

 

 

 

The Sky Dragon Slayer, also known as the "Sky Maiden." She was raised by the dragon Grandine in the art of healing magic, though she can also use her magic for combat purposes such as breathing gusts of wind. She is introduced as a representative of the Cait Shelter guild during the alliance against Oración Seis, but joins Fairy Tail after learning {{spoiler|her old guild doesn't actually exist}}. Seems to have become a permanent, though unofficial, member of Team Natsu by time.

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Child Mage]]

* [[Combat Medic]]: Is shaping up to be this.

* [[Does Not Like Spam|Doesn't Like Pickled Plums]]: Loke and Gray used this to defeat her in the anime version of the S-Class exam.

** [[Weaksauce Weakness]]

* [[Image Song]]: "Amazing Blessings"

* [[Little Miss Badass]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Wendy can sound like ''[[Just for Pun|Windy]]''

** Originally, she was going to be the [[Making a Splash|Water Dragon Slayer]], with her name becoming a pun on Wensday (In japanese, Mizuyobi or "Water Day").

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Red Baron]]: She's known as the "Sky Maiden."

* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Is introduced this way, but once she joins Fairy Tail, she starts to grow out of it.

* [[Shy Blue-Haired Girl]]

* [[Tender Tears]]

* [[The Medic]]: One of very few, and probably the best.

* {{spoiler|[[Tomato Surprise]]}}: {{spoiler|Cait Shelter is just an illusion created by the long-dead master, Roubaul. This leads to her joining Fairy Tail.}}

* [[What Could Have Been]]: At first she was stated to be the Water Dragon Slayer.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: In the entire Edolas arc, along with [[Girlish Pigtails]].

 

 

Wendy's caretaker. She is of the same species as Happy, a talking cat who can grow wings and fly. Unlike Happy, she was born with knowledge of what she and Happy really are--{{spoiler|Exceeds sent from the parallel world of Edolas--thanks to her ability to foresee the future}}.

 

* [[Accidental Truth]]: {{spoiler|in the Edolas arc, she claimed to be the Exceed Princess to prevent Edolas!Erza from arresting her and Happy. Turns out that she really is Queen Shagot's daughter}}

* [[Barefoot Cartoon Animal]]: Until the Edolas arc.

* [[Bond Creatures]]: To Wendy. It's actually implied that {{spoiler|all Dragon Slayers should have one.}}

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Once she sees Happy's [[Heroic Resolve]]. She finally even calls him by his name!

* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: To Happy.

* [[Four-Fingered Hands|Five-Fingered Paw]]

* [[Grumpy Bear]]

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|When she finds out that everything she's done was to unwittingly accomplish her mission and not to protect Wendy. Though it wasn't a mission in the first place}}.

* [[Jerkass]]: Also to Happy.

* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Despite being a cat.

** [[Cats Are Snarkers]]

* {{spoiler|[[Psychic Powers]]}}: {{spoiler|The power of foresight}}.

** {{spoiler|[[Prophetic Fallacy]]}}: {{spoiler|Much to her dismay}}

* [[Straight Man]]

* {{spoiler|[[Strong Family Resemblance]]: To her mother}}

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: One of the more collected and observant guild members, and she's only six.

 

 

A young girl and a minor character who recently joined the guild. She used to be {{spoiler|Cobra of Oracion Seis' pet snake, Cuberos, who was turned into a snake many years ago by an evil mage. After Oracion Seis fell to Natsu and friends, Makarov found the snake and, realizing it was under a spell, transformed her back into a human.}} She doesn't have any memory of her past, and only occasionally hears someone calling out to her in her dreams.

 

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Where just about everything we know of her so far comes from.

* {{spoiler|[[Baleful Polymorph]]}}: {{spoiler|Used to be Cobra's pet snake, Cuberos}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Brought Down to Normal]]}}

* [[Write Who You Know]]: Her initial design was based off of one of Mashima's assistants.

 

 

An Exceed who, unlike Happy and Carla, was born and raised in Edolas. He was exiled from his home country for aiding an injured human, {{spoiler|Mystogan}}, leading him to side with the humans as Captain of the 1st Magic War Division in the Edolas Royal Army. Gajeel later claims him as his cat partner, much like Happy is to Natsu and Carla is to Wendy.

 

* [[Afraid of Lightning]]: And it's ''[[Moe|adorable]]''.

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Before his [[Heel Face Turn]].

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Has no actual magic besides his [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Battle Mode Shift]], yet he can punch hard enough to break ''rock'' and wield a massive [[BFS]].

* [[The Comically Serious]]

** He also bears a striking resemblance to [[Blacksad]], which is very likely intentional, as the author has admitted to being a [[Author Appeal|fan of the latter, even having a signed copy]].

* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Why does his name sound so cute?

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: One going on the side of his left eye.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]

* [[Manly Tears]]

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: To Gajeel.

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]

* [[Redemption Demotion]]: Since his [[Heel Face Turn]] he has become much less effective in fights, mostly because of the limited amount of time he can spend in his battle form since coming to Earthland.

* [[The Stoic]]: Next to Carla, he may be among the most serious of the Fairy Tail guild.

** [[Not So Stoic]]: Gajeel managed to break through to the [[Blood Knight]] underneath in their fight, judging by Lily's [[Slasher Smile|smile]].

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: He's an Exceed.

 

 

Macao's son. After spending the first portion of the series dreaming about it, he becomes a member of Fairy Tail following the time skip. His magic is called Rainbow Fire, which lets him conjure flames of different qualities based on their color (blue flames are cold, orange flames are foul-smelling, purple flames are sticky, etc.).

 

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Bullied by other kids because his dad is in Fairy Tail.

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Appears to become far more important after the [[Time Skip]]. Also, {{spoiler|his future self first appears at the end of chapter 234.}}

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Appears in the background of some panels.

* [[Mouthy Kid]]

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: He hadn't smiled once during {{spoiler|Natsu and the others' seven-year-long absence}}.

** [[Fireballs]]: Not as strong as Natsu's, though.

** [[Technicolor Fire]]: Thanks to {{spoiler|Totomaru}}'s lessons.

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]

* [[Take Up My Sword]]: Even though {{spoiler|Natsu's still alive}}, he seems to be imitating him in looks and in magic after the 7 year timeskip.
