Natsu Dragneel

Main article: Natsu Dragneel

Natsu Dragneel (ナツ・ドラグニル, Natsu Doraguniru) is the main male protagonist of the series. He is raised from a young age by the dragon Igneel to become a Dragon Slayer (滅竜魔導士（ドラゴンスレイヤー）, Doragon Sureiyā), a wizard with dragon-like physiology whose powers are designed to combat dragons. Using his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic (火の滅竜魔法, Hi no Metsurū Mahō), Natsu is immune to flames and capable of consuming them to fuel his attacks, which include breathing fire and igniting any part of his body for use when striking; however, he suffers from motion sickness when he is in a vehicle of any sort.^[ch. 1] After noting Igneel's disappearance on the date of July 7, X777, Natsu searches for the dragon and is subsequently inducted into Fairy Tail, where he gains infamy over the next seven years as one of the guild's most destructive members known as "Salamander" (火竜（サラマンダー）, Saramandā).^[ch. 2] Later in the series, Natsu is revealed to be the younger brother of the dark wizard Zeref, who converted him into a demon known as "Etherious Natsu Dragneel" (E.N.D.) and sent him four-hundred years from the past in a plan to kill both himself and the evil dragon Acnologia.^[ch. 465] Natsu is voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara in Japanese and Todd Haberkorn in English.

Happy

Main article: Happy (manga character)

Happy (ハッピー, Happī) is a 6-year-old anthropomorphic cat with blue fur who is Natsu Dragneel's best friend and sole traveling companion at the start of the series.^[ch. 1] He possesses a magic ability called Aera (翼（エーラ）, Ēra) that transforms him into a winged cat and fly at great speeds.^{[ch. 1, 17]} He uses this form to carry Natsu in the air, and is the only one Natsu is able to ride without succumbing to motion sickness.^[ch. 3] He is hatched from an egg found by Natsu and Lisanna Strauss, who name him "Happy" after his birth quells an argument the rest of the guild were having.^{[vol. 15:omake]} Later in the series, Happy discovers his origins as an Exceed from Edolas,^[ch. 178] where he was separated from his parents Lucky (ラッキー, Rakkī) and Marl (マール, Māru) before birth as part of their queen's plan to evacuate 100 Exceed children to Earth-land due to their kingdom's impending destruction.^{[ch. 177, 198]} Happy is voiced by Rie Kugimiya in Japanese and Tia Ballard in English.

Gray Fullbuster

Gray Fullbuster (グレイ・フルバスター, Gurei Furubasutā) is an ice wizard who has a competitive relationship with Natsu because of their conflicting personalities and magical elements.^[ch. 10] He uses the magic Ice Make (氷の造形魔法（アイスメイク）, Aisu Meiku), which instantly produces ice in the shape of any weapon or object he imagines.^[ch. 21] Due to his training to withstand cold temperatures, he has the habit of subconsciously stripping his clothes.^[ch. 36] Gray is the target of Juvia Lockser's affections throughout much of the series, which he eventually reciprocates after initially resisting her advances.^[ch. 545]

In his past, an eight-year-old Gray is orphaned by the Etherious Deliora (デリオラ, Deriora) and learns magic from Ur to take revenge. After Ur sacrifices herself to save Gray's life when he recklessly attempts to kill Deliora, he accepts the blame for her death and joins Fairy Tail.^[ch. 36-38] His backstory is further explored in the spin-off manga Fairy Tail: Ice Trail, which depicts his first encounter with Gildarts Clive as Gray's inspiration for joining Fairy Tail.

During Fairy Tail's battle with Tartaros, Gray becomes a Demon Slayer (滅悪魔導士（デビルスレイヤー）, Debiru Sureiyā, lit. "Devil Slayer") by inheriting Ice Demon Slayer Magic (氷の滅悪魔法, Kōri no Metsuaku Mahō) from his reanimated father, Silver, to carry out Silver's will to destroy E.N.D., Tartaros's master.^[ch. 394] While grieving Juvia's supposed death in the war with the Alvarez Empire, Gray briefly succumbs to his demonic power's corruptive influence upon discovering Natsu's identity as E.N.D.,^{[ch. 498-500]} which compels him to irrationally attack Natsu.^[ch. 504] After returning to his senses and reuniting with Juvia,^[ch. 508] Gray reconciles with Natsu and helps Lucy strip him of his identity as an Etherious so he may live normally as a human.^{[ch. 523, 538]}

Mashima modeled Gray's tendency to strip after a personal habit of his own. Mashima conceived an idea for the character to become an Ice Dragon Slayer at the start of Fairy Tail's development, but rejected it around Gajeel Redfox's introduction. The decision to make him into a Demon Slayer came shortly before writing the Grand Magic Games after Mashima recalled his original idea during Gray's battle with Ultear Milkovich.^{[vol. 46:177]} Gray is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura in Japanese and Newton Pittman in English.

Erza Scarlet

Erza Scarlet (エルザ・スカーレット, Eruza Sukāretto) is an S-Class Fairy Tail member who is nicknamed "Titania" (妖精女王（ティターニア）, Titānia) as the guild's most powerful female wizard.^[ch. 14] She uses magic called "The Knight" (騎士（ザ・ナイト）, Za Naito) to instantaneously requip (換装, kansō)—exchange and equip—various weapons and armors that alter her already tremendous strength and magic ability.^[ch. 14]

Abandoned at infancy by her mother, Irene Belserion,^[ch. 519] Erza is enslaved at the Tower of Heaven at age 11 and befriends Jellal Fernandes,^[ch. 77] who gives her the surname "Scarlet" after her red hair.^[ch. 163] She first activates her magic power while leading a slave revolt,^[ch. 81] but she is betrayed by a brainwashed Jellal and forced to escape from the tower alone.^[ch. 82] Her experiences lead her to join Fairy Tail and become a strict disciplinarian who has no tolerance for her guildmates' foolish behavior,^[ch. 10] but she gradually opens up to her friends over the course of their adventures.^[ch. 104] She is eventually selected to serve temporarily as the guild's seventh master in Makarov Dreyar's absence following their one-year disbandment.^[ch. 438]

Mashima developed Erza to be a female character whom Natsu could fear, initially giving her a "wild" look before settling on the image of a knight. Her character and personality were influenced by Mummy, a character from the manga series Monster Soul that Mashima released between Rave Master and Fairy Tail. The name "Erza" is derived from Eru, the heroine of the short story "Fairy Tale" written by Mashima as a pilot for the series.^{[vol. 2:190]} Her moniker and its associated kanji reference Titania, the Fairy Queen character from A Midsummer Night's Dream.^{[vol. 3:192]} Erza is voiced by Sayaka Ohara in Japanese and Colleen Clinkenbeard in English.

Wendy Marvell

Wendy Marvell (ウェンディ・マーベル, Wendi Māberu) is a 12-year-old Dragon Slayer adopted and trained by the dragon Grandeeney (グランディーネ, Gurandīne, also "Grandine") to perform Sky Dragon Slayer Magic (天空の滅竜魔法, Tenkū no Metsuryū Mahō), which draws power from clean air to heal most injuries and ailments,^[ch. 135] and can temporarily relieve her fellow Dragon Slayers' motion sickness.^[ch. 144] At some point during Grandeeney's disappearance, Wendy travels the world with Mystogan until he leaves her at the Cait Shelter (化猫の宿（ケットシェルター）, Ketto Sherutā) guild, where she is known as the "Sky Dragon" (天竜, Tenryū) and "Priestess of the Sky" (天空の巫女, Tenkū no Miko).^[ch. 135] Seven years later, Wendy represents her guild in an alliance with Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale against the dark guild Oración Seis.^[ch. 132] After the Seis are defeated, Wendy discovers her guild's true nature as an illusion created by their master, the elderly spirit Robaul (ローバウル, Rōbauru), to care for her; she is then left to join Fairy Tail after her old guild vanishes.^[ch. 164] Wendy comes to admire Natsu as an older brother figure,^[ch. 423] inspiring her to use her magic's combative functions, which include manipulating wind and augmenting the strength, speed, and defense of herself and her allies through enchantment.^[ch. 376]

Wendy is voiced by Satomi Satō in Japanese and Brittney Karbowski in English.

Carla

Carla is a white-furred, high-strung female Exceed who acts as Wendy Marvell's partner and guardian.^{[ch. 133, 145]} Her name in Japanese is Charles (シャルル, Sharuru), spelled "Charle" in Funimation subtitles, which was changed to "Carla" in various countries where readers would interpret "Charles" as a male name.^{[vol. 27:184]} In addition to the magic Aera, Carla is born with the power of precognition inherited from her mother, the Exceed queen Chagot (シャゴット, Shagotto).

Carla is voiced by Yui Horie in Japanese and Jad Saxton in English.
