List Of Fairy Tail Characters
The Fairy Tail manga and anime series features an extensive cast of characters created by Hiro Mashima. The series primarily takes place in the Fiore Kingdom, a kingdom located in the fictional universe called Earthland, where several of its residents are able to perform various forms of magic. Those who practice magic as a profession, referred to as wizards (魔導士, madōshi?), join guilds where they share information and perform paid jobs for clients. The series' storyline follows a group of wizards from the rambunctious titular guild.
The main characters of the series are Lucy Heartfilia, a celestial wizard who joins the Fairy Tail guild, and Natsu Dragneel, a fire wizard known as a Dragon Slayer who is searching for his adoptive dragon father Igneel. During the early part of the series, they form a team with Happy, a flying cat and friend of Natsu; Gray Fullbuster, an ice wizard; Erza Scarlet, an S-Class wizard who specializes in using various weapons and armors; Wendy Marvell, a young air sorceress; and Carla, Wendy's flying cat partner. Over the course of the series, Lucy and Natsu interact with and befriend other wizards in the guild as well as in other cities and guilds in Fiore, and even some characters from other worlds. They also encounter various antagonists from illegal "dark" guilds, and Zeref, an ancient wizard who is sought out by several of the series' villains.
When creating the series, Mashima was influenced by Akira Toriyama, J.R.R. Tolkien and Yudetamago and based the guild on a local bar. He also used people as references in designing other characters. The characters have been well-received overall.
