Panther Lily
Panther Lily (パンサーリリー Pansārirī) is a black-furred Exceed swordsman from the parallel universe of Edolas. Initially depicted as a large, muscular, anthropomorphic panther, [ch. 171] Panther Lily eventually takes on his species' general small appearance, though he is able to assume his original form for limited periods of time.[ch. 199,201] He can use the "Aera". He uses swords that can extend to three times his large form's size, initially Bustermarm (バスターマァム Basutāmāmu), and then the Musica Sword (ムジカの剣 Mujika no Ken).[ch. 186,247][15]After Panther Lily saves a young Mystogan's life and brings him to Extalia, the Exceed is exiled by his people's queen Chagot.[ch. 189] Joining the Edolas Kingdom's royal army, Panther Lily captains the 1st Magic War Division.[ch. 171] He duels Gajeel Redfox while defending the lacrima crystal created from the residents of Magnolia after they have been absorbed by an Anima portal, but has a change of heart after seeing the Exceeds gathering to push the crystal away from Extalia, and rescues Chagot from falling to her death.[ch. 186,189] After being sent to Earth-land through the reversed Anima portal, he joins Fairy Tail as Gajeel's partner. He shows a mature personality compared to most of the Fairy Tail guild members.[ch. 200] In the anime adaptation, his voice actor is Hiroki Tōchi.[16]
Other members
Makarov Dreyar
Makarov Dreyar (マカロフ・ドレアー Makarofu Doreā) is the short, 88-year-old master of Fairy Tail. His name comes from the fact that Mashima wanted it to sound Russian.[vol. 2:afterword] Discontented with the Magic Council for the rules it tries to impose on Fairy Tail, Makarov encourages his guild's members to do whatever they think is right. He becomes despondent whenever his guild causes trouble with the council, and sometimes uses force to stop his guild members whenever they become too rowdy or violent. However, he considers his guild members to be his children, and is fiercely protective of them. He is capable of multiple different forms of magic, including Giant/Titan (巨人(ジャイアント) Jaianto) magic, which increases his normally diminutive stature to gigantic proportions.[ch. 26] His most powerful spell is Fairy Law (妖精の法律(フェアリーロウ) Fearī Rō), one of three legendary spells developed by the Fairy Tail guild, which generates a flash of bright light that spans across a wide area, and only harms those the caster considers to be his or her enemy.[ch. 66] Given his high level of magic and skills, Makarov is registered as one of the Ten Wizard Saints, the most powerful wizards in the continent. In the original Japanese series, he is voiced by Shinpachi Tsuji.[7] In the English dub, his voice is supplied by R Bruce Elliott.[8]Mirajane Strauss
Mirajane "Demon Woman"[g] Strauss (ミラジェーン・ストラウス Mirajēn Sutorausu) is a 19-year-old S-Class wizard who serves as a barmaid and administrator at Fairy Tail, and occasionally appears as a cover girl on the fictional Sorcerer's Weekly magazine.[ch. 2] Her name comes from a video game Hiro Mashima was playing while creating her character.[vol. 2:afterword] She is a very cheerful, kindhearted, yet somewhat absentminded young woman who rarely displays anger towards others.[ch. 25] During Mirajane's childhood, she is rambunctious and has a particularly fierce rivalry with Erza Scarlet.[vol. 15:omake] She and her young siblings Elfman and Lisanna use Take Over (接収(テイクオーバー) Teiku Ōbā) magic to transform into creatures they have previously encountered. Mirajane's specific variety, Satan Soul (サタンソウル Satan Sōru), grants her the ability to transform into a demon with enhanced physical speed and strength.[ch. 117,118] She can also mimic other people's physical appearance and voice.[ch. 52] After Lisanna disappears when she is 17 years old, Mirajane loses her Take Over powers and retires from working on missions.[ch. 54,55] Two years later, Mirajane regains her powers and duels with Freed Justine to a draw. She and Lucy host the "Emergency Request! Explain the Mysteries of Fairy Tail" sections at the ends of the manga volumes where they answer reader questions. In the Japanese version of the series, Mirajane is voiced by Ryōko Ono.[7] In the English dub, she is voiced by Monica Rial.[8]Cana Alberona
Cana Alberona (カナ・アルベローナ Kana Aruberōna) is an 18-year-old wizard with an unusually high alcohol tolerance level; she can drink entire barrelfuls of alcohol without getting drunk.[ch. 2] She is the most senior member of her guild's generation.[ch. 201] Her name is derived from the term "arcana" in relation to tarot cards.[vol. 2:afterword] Using Card Magic (魔法の札(マジックカード) Majikku Kādo, lit. "Magic Card"), Cana can cast a wide variety of spells from a deck of magic-infused cards.[ch. 38] Years before the series's present, Cana joins Fairy Tail at the age of six; however, she is devastated to learn that her father Gildarts Clive is unaware of their family connection. Determined to reveal the truth to her father, she attempts to become an S-Class wizard, but fails four consecutive exams designating the S-Class rank in doing so. Twelve years later, Cana contemplates leaving the guild if she fails her fifth and latest exam on Tenrou Island.[ch. 202,232] After teaming up with Lucy, Cana turns on her friends to complete the exam trial of searching for Mavis Vermillion's grave during Grimoire Heart's assault on the island.[ch. 213,225] Realizing her treacherous deeds when she arrives at the grave, Cana rejects her desire to become an S-Class Wizard. The spirit of Mavis grants her temporary use of the Fairy Glitter spell.[ch. 232,251] She later reveals their relationship to Gildarts.[ch. 251] In the original Japanese series, Cana is voiced by Eri Kitamura.[7] In the English dub, her voice is supplied by Jamie Marchi.[8]Elfman Strauss
"Beast Arm"[h] Elfman Strauss (エルフマン・ストラウス Erufuman Sutorausu) is Mirajane's younger, 18-year-old brother. He is a large and well-built man who regularly spouts speeches about what a "real man" should do,[ch. 2] but is also kindhearted and emotionally sensitive. Employing the Take Over magic Beast Soul (獣王の魂(ビーストソウル) Bīsuto Sōru), Elfman can transform his body into any monster he has defeated.[vol. 17:omake] However, his first attempt at using Beast Soul when he is 16 years old causes him to go berserk and injure his younger sister Lisanna, who disappears. Thinking that he has killed Lisanna, his deep guilt limits his magic power to an ability called Beast Arm (ビーストアーム Bīsuto Āmu), with which he can only transform his right arm. Two years later, Elfman regains his Beast Soul ability during the assault on Phantom Lord after seeing Mirajane in danger; he defeats Sol with it, after which he is able to control his transformation.[ch. 49,55,56] Later in the series, he partners with Evergreen as an S-Class wizard promotional exam candidate on Tenrou Island, where the two bicker after Evergreen tricks Mirajane into thinking they are engaged to distract her during an exam round. However, he develops genuine feelings for Evergreen, and becomes angered whenever she or anyone else makes fun of him for it.[ch. 208,222,249] In the Japanese version of the series, Elfman is voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto.[7] In the English dub, he is voiced by Christopher Sabat.[8]Loke
Loke (ロキ Roki), named after the Norse god Loki,[vol. 2:afterword] is a flirtatious wizard regularly accompanied by young women.[ch. 2] Using a ring called Regulus (王の光(レグルス) Regurus), Loke can conjure light-based magic attacks.[ch. 115] His true identity is the celestial spirit Leo, who is initially owned by Karen Lilica. After preventing her from summoning other spirits to keep her from bullying his fellow celestial spirit Aries, Loke inadvertently leaves Karen defenseless while on a mission which results in her death at the hands of Angel. Exiled from the spirit world, Loke distances himself from any celestial wizards he encounters. Three years later, Loke's magic power weakens severely until his body slowly begins to fade away. After Lucy Heartfilia discovers his identity as a spirit, she saves his life and restores his former power by persuading the Celestial Spirit King to reconsider Loke's exile, which allows him to return to the spirit world.[ch. 72-74] Despite becoming one of Lucy's contracted spirit partners, Loke is still considered a member of Fairy Tail, and temporarily nullifies his contract with her to serve as Gray Fullbuster's partner during the S-Class exam.[ch. 202] In the Japanese version of the series, Loke is voiced by Daisuke Kishio.[7] In the English dub, he is voiced by Eric Vale.[8]Levy McGarden

She is also proficient in translating and decoding foreign texts and runic magic. She is close friends with Lucy Heartfilia, and the first person Lucy willingly allows to read her novel.[ch. 48] Gajeel Redfox's assault on her and her team results in war between Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail.[ch. 47] Initially fearful of Gajeel after he joins Fairy Tail,[ch. 103] Levy forgives him after he protects her from being injured by Laxus Dreyar.[ch. 105] She gradually develops feelings for Gajeel after he offers to become her partner for the S-Class exam.[ch. 202,207] In the Japanese version of the series, Levy is voiced by Mariya Ise.[7] In the English dub, she is voiced by Kristi Kang.[17][8]Mystogan
Mystogan (ミストガン Misutogan) is an S-Class wizard referred to as the most mysterious member of Fairy Tail. Refusing to let others see his face, he covers his entire body with a cloak and bandages, and goes as far as using magic to temporarily put his guildmates to sleep whenever he visits the guild.[ch. 24] Mystogan later reveals himself as Jellal Fernandez's counterpart from the parallel universe Edolas, of which he is its prince.[ch. 167,189] As a resident of Edolas, he does not perform magic on his own, but uses staves that are infused with magic power to cast a variety of spells.[ch. 120] Despite this, he remains one of the most powerful members of Fairy Tail, demonstrated by his capacity to defeat each of Phantom Lord's subdivisions throughout the country by himself.[ch. 24,65]During Mystogan's early childhood, he travels to Earth-land to close the inter-dimensional Anima portals that Faust, his father and the king of Edolas, uses to steal magical power from Earth-land. Seven years later, after failing to prevent Magnolia from being absorbed by an Anima portal,[ch. 167-168] he returns to Edolas and restores the city by forcing the lacrima crystal created from the absorbed Fairy Tail wizards through another portal after his guildmates prevent Faust from ramming it into Extalia.[ch. 189] He reverses the effects of the Anima portals to return the stolen magical power to Earth-land, and intends to be publicly executed for this by his childhood friend Panther Lily to quell the panic.

He organizes a coup d'état with the Thunder God Tribe in which they hold several of Fairy Tail's female members, and eventually Magnolia, as hostages and force their guildmates to fight each other in an intra-guild battle royal called the "Battle of Fairy Tail" (バトル・オブ・フェアリーテイル Batoru obu Fearī Teiru) to rescue them; those who emerge victorious will be allowed to stay in the guild with Laxus as its new master.[ch. 107,113] After his plans fail, he tries to use Fairy Law to destroy Magnolia, but it has no effect, which signifies that he does not truly hate his guild. After Laxus is defeated by Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox, Makarov expels him from Fairy Tail, though he leaves on friendly terms with his grandfather and guildmates.[ch. 124-128] Laxus later returns to help his former guildmates battle Hades on Tenrou Island,[ch. 244-248] and is reinstated into Fairy Tail by Gildarts Clive during his brief period as Fairy Tail's master.[ch. 260] He is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi.[18] In the English dub, his voice is supplied by Patrick Seitz.[8]

Edolas
Edolas (エドラス Edorasu) is a parallel universe that exists separately from Earth-land, the universe in which Fairy Tail takes place. Edolas is inhabited by physical counterparts of characters from the series, though most of their personalities differ radically, as do a select few of their physical attributes such as height, age, and species.[ch. 170,176] Among these inhabitants are Mystogan, Jellal Fernandez' counterpart, and Poluchka, the human counterpart of the dragon Grandine.[ch. 120,260] As opposed to Earth-land, magic is a limited resource in Edolas and cannot be used as a natural ability by humans, who instead perform magic with items infused with lacrima.[ch. 172] Edolas' magic supply is replenished through the use of inter-dimensional portals called Anima (アニマ), which absorb magic power from Earth-land and transform it into lacrima;[ch. 169] this process can also affect wizards.[ch. 170] However, the absorption process does not affect Dragon Slayers, Exceeds, or celestial spirits,[ch. 168,172] While in Edolas, the protagonists are unable to perform magic until they ingest medicine called X-Balls[n 13] provided by Mystogan.[ch. 180] Mystogan eventually saves Magnolia by reversing the Anima portal to return the magic power to Earth-land, permanently depleting Edolas' magic supply.[ch. 193,197-198]The Edolas Kingdom (エドラス王国 Edorasu Ōkoku) is a kingdom ruled by Faust (ファウスト Fausuto), the nation's king until he is replaced by his son Mystogan.[ch. 171,190,198] He strives to bestow a limitless supply of magic on his kingdom by ramming the lacrima crystal made from Magnolia's residents into Extalia by using the Dragon Chain Cannon (竜鎖砲 Ryūsahō), a weapon that is powered by Dragon Slayer magic.[ch. 180,183] In addition, he can pilot an armored, dragon-shaped mecha called Droma Anim (ドロマ・アニム Doroma Animu).[ch. 190] The kingdom's airborne and ground assault military force, the Royal Army, is commanded by Panther Lily;[ch. 171] "Fairy Hunter"[bb] Erza Nightwalker (エルザ・ナイトウォーカー Eruza Naitowōkā), Erza Scarlet's ruthless counterpart who can use a magic spear with an interchangeable head;[ch. 170,180] Hughes (ヒューズ Hyūzu), a young man who uses a wand to control various attractions from Faust's indoor amusement park in combat;[ch. 182] and Sugar Boy (シュガーボーイ Shugābōi), a man capable of using a sword to soften materials. Placed in charge of the army are Faust's other subordinates: Byro (バイロ Bairo), the elderly chief of staff capable of using various magical potions to cast spells;[ch. 171,184] and Coco (ココ Koko), a woman in command of an army of flying beasts called Legions (レギオン Region).[ch. 170,187]
As with Earth-land, an alternate version of the Fairy Tail guild exists in Edolas.[ch. 170] Due to the prohibition of magic outside of the Edolas capital, Edolas' Fairy Tail is considered a dark guild, hunted by the Royal Army, and is the last remaining magic guild in Edolas.[ch. 170,171] Its guildhall is built inside a cluster of large roots, which can mechanically burrow underground to change its location and escape the army.[ch. 170] Its members are counterparts of Earth-land's Fairy Tail wizards,[ch. 170] save Lisanna Strauss, who acts as her deceased counterpart after being trapped in Edolas.[ch. 199] Among its members are Natsu "Fireball"[bc] Dragion (ナツ・ドラギオン Natsu Doragion), Natsu Dragneel's timid counterpart who only acts confidently while driving vehicles, and is the guild's transportation specialist;[ch. 173-175] Lucy Ashley (ルーシィ・アシュレイ Rūshii Ashurei), a tomboyish version of Lucy Heartfilia who enjoys bullying her guildmates and has a fierce rivalry with the Edolas counterpart of Levy McGarden;[ch. 170,175] and Gray Sorloge (グレイ・ソルージュ Gurei Sorūju), a version of Gray Fullbuster who wears multiple layers of clothing and harbors overt but one-sided romantic feelings for the Edolas counterpart of Juvia Lockser.[ch. 170,180] The members of Edolas' Fairy Tail become allies to the Earth-land Fairy Tail wizards and help them battle the Royal Army.[ch. 192] The anime adaptation also features a counterpart of Gajeel, a mild-mannered news reporter and Edolas Fairy Tail's informant.[30]
Exceed
Exceeds (エクシード Ekushīdo) are a race[vol. 21:translation notes] of cat-like creatures that Happy, Carla, and Panther Lily come from. They reside on a floating island called Extalia (エクスタリア Ekusutaria) that is elevated high above the Edolas Kingdom. They possess a natural ability to absorb magical power into their bodies, and can grow wings on their back with the "Aera" ability. Though assumed by the Edolas Kingdom's residents to be divine beings for their powers and superior to humans, Exceeds are generally weak and insecure individuals, and their divinity is only a ruse devised by the rulers of Extalia to bolster their race's self-confidence.[ch. 175-177,188] Unlike cats, Exceeds reproduce by laying eggs.[vol. 15:extra]The Exceeds are ruled by their queen Chagot (シャゴット Shagotto), who is revered as a deity in the Edolas Kingdom as well. Despite her reputation, Chagot has very little magical power, and can only use Aera to produce one wing. However, she can perform precognition, which when applied to human's fates, makes her seem like a deity. Upon seeing a premonition of her kingdom's destruction, Chagot sends 100 Exceed eggs to Earth-land. To prevent a panic among the Exceeds, Chagot announces that the unborn Exceeds were sent on a mission to hunt Dragon Slayers. Two other members of Chagot's court—Nichiya (ニチヤ), the captain of Extalia's imperial guard and Ichiya's Edolas counterpart, and Nadi (ナディ), Extalia's long-necked Minister of State—help uphold the queen's ruse. Six years later, when Faust rebels against the Exceeds, Chagot reveals that she is a mere Exceed. Following Faust's defeat and Extalia's destruction, Mystogan enhances the Reverse Anima portal so that it transports every magical being to Earth-land, including the Exceeds; upon arrival the Exceeds decide they will search for their children. Withholding the fact that Carla is her daughter, Chagot joins the search with the other Exceeds.[ch. 176,177,188,198]
Sabertooth
Sabertooth (セイバートゥース Seibātūsu)[bd] is one of the official guilds in the Fiore Kingdom regarded as the kingdom's most powerful guild during Tenrou Island's disappearance until its defeat at the hands of Fairy Tail in the Grand Magic Games.[ch. 258,322] The guild's master is Jienma (ジエンマ), a very large human obsessed with maintaining Sabertooth's strength, and harshly penalizes anyone he considers weak.[ch. 281] Two of its members, "White Dragon"[be] Sting Eucliffe (スティング・ユークリフ Sutingu Yūkurifu) and "Shadow Dragon"[bf] Rogue Cheney (ローグ・チェーニ Rōgu Chēni), are a pair of male Dragon Slayers known collectively as the "Twin Dragons" (双竜 Soryū) of Sabertooth.[ch. 258] They are "third generation" Dragon Slayers, who combine the magic-learning methods of Dragon Slayers from the "first generation", who are taught their magic from dragons, and "second generation", who use their magic through lacrima implants. The two refer to themselves as the "true" Dragon Slayers.[ch. 265] Sting and Rogue are accompanied by two male Exceeds — Sting's partner is Lecter (レクター Rekutā) who believes in his guild's superiority to all others, while Rogue's partner is Frosch (フロッシュ Furosshu), who wears a frog costume and almost always speaks in agreement to others.[ch. 258] Other members of the guild include "Black Lightning"[bg] Orga Nanagear (オルガ・ナナギア Oruga Nanagia),[ch. 273] a man who can use lightning magic; Rufus Lohr (ルーファス・ロア Rūfasu Roa), a man who can create illusions of himself and pinpoint others' locations with his heightened memorization ability;[ch. 270] Minerva (ミネルバ Mineruba) Jienma's daughter;[ch. 283] as well as Yukino Aguria.[ch. 268]Others

Years before the events of the series, Ur brings Ultear to a research facility to save her when she falls gravely ill from her immense magical power. However, while they keep Ultear alive to experiment on her, the doctors trick Ur into thinking that her daughter has died. Ur takes in Lyon and Gray as her students, eventually coming to love them as her own children without viewing them as replacements for Ultear. After Ur freezes the demon Deliora, she is kept alive in the form of a large chunk of ice along with the demon. Years later, Lyon uses the Moon Drip spell to melt her. Even after drifting out to sea as water, Ur remains alive to watch over her students.

Celestial spirits (星霊 seirei) are beings from the Celestial Spirit World, a world parallel to Earth-land, who are contracted by celestial wizards like Lucy Heartfilia to be summoned to their masters' sides through the use of enchanted keys called Gatekeys to battle and perform other tasks. They are governed by an all-powerful spirit called the Celestial Spirit King (星霊王 Seirei-Ō), and are each named after and based on one of the 88 modern constellations. They are immortal and possess various magic powers and abilities, but lose their power when they remain outside their realm for extended periods of time, which is fatal to them.[ch. 72-74]- Nikora of "Canis Minor"[bj] (ニコラ Nikora)[bk] is a common breed of celestial spirit normally kept by celestial wizards as pets.[ch. 4] Lucy keeps a Nikora spirit that she names Plue (プルー Purū), who is identical in appearance and mannerisms to the character of the same name from Hiro Mashima's earlier work, Rave Master.[vol. 1:afterword] He is based on the Canis Minor constellation.[ch. 4] Nikora is voiced by Saori Gotō.[7] In the English dub, his species name is spelled "Nicola" and his voice actress is Majken Bullard.[8]

Dragons
Dragons are rare and powerful creatures who are hardly ever seen by humans, to the extent that the general public does not think they exist. During their childhoods, Dragon Slayers Natsu Dragneel, Gajeel Redfox, and Wendy Marvell are each raised by a different dragon: Igneel (イグニール Igunīru) the fire dragon, Metalicana (メタリカーナ Metarikāna) the iron dragon, and Grandine (グランディーネ Gurandīne, "Grandeeney"[37]) the sky dragon, respectively. The dragons not only teach them how to read and write, but also how to perform Dragon Slayer magic, which was originally developed to combat dragons due to their destructive nature. Seven years before the beginning of the series, these three dragons disappear on the same day, leaving their foster children to fend for themselves. Their exact whereabouts are unknown, though Igneel and Grandine are shown to remain in contact with one another and continue to watch over their foster children from afar. There also exists a black dragon named Acnologia (アクノロギア Akunorogia), which views humanity as insignificant. Acnologia appears on Tenrou Island during Fairy Tail's S-Class wizard exam as a result of Grimoire Heart's ambition to resurrect Zeref.[ch. 253]Merchandise
Several types of merchandise has been produced, including: notebooks showing the main characters,[38] cosplay clothing of the female characters,[39] key chains including Lucy Heartfilia's gate keys,[40][41] temporary tattoos and clothes bearing the Fairy Tail logo,[42][43] clocks with characters on them,[44] as well as several figurines and plush dolls.[45][46] Several characters are featured on postcards and magnets.[47][48] Mouse pads were also created for some of the female characters.[49][50]Reception
The characters of Fairy Tail have received both praise and criticism from publications dedicated to anime, manga, and other media. Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network describes the characters' styles as having a "strong 'bite me' vibe" and compared the visual style to that of One Piece author Eiichiro Oda.[51] In his review of the second volume, Kimlinger said that Cancer's fighting style "is a kick".[9] In reviewing the first DVD/Blu-ray volume of Fairy Tail, Carlo Santos, also of Anime News Network, says "with a lead character as pumped-up as Natsu, it's hard not to get caught up in his energy". Santos also praises Happy, citing his character as an "entertaining diversion, proving that animal sidekicks can be fun to listen to and not just a necessary annoyance."[52] Neil Lumbard of DVD Talk, in his reviews of the Blu-ray/DVDs, mentions the "strong likeability factor of the each of the main characters".[53]Notes

- ^ According to the Del Rey edition Translation Notes, General Notes, Wizard: So this translation has taken that as its inspiration and translated the word madôshi as "wizard". But madôshi's meaning is similar to certain Japanese words that have been borrowed by the English language, such as judo (the soft way) and kendo (the way of the sword). Madô is the way of magic, and madôshi are those who follow the way of magic. So although the word "wizard" is used in the original dialogue, a Japanese reader would be likely to think not of traditional Western wizard such as Merlin or Gandalf, but of martial artists.[vol. 2:translation_notes]
