Natsu Dragneel
Anime Debut: Fairy Tail (Episode 1)
- Age: 18-19
- Height: 5'7" (1.7m)
- Birthday: January 16, X765 (Or July 7th, X300)
- Japanese Voice Actor: Tetsuya Kakihara
- English Voice Actor: Todd Haberkorn
Though this fiery and silly wizard is technically hundreds of years old, his actual age is closer to that of an older teenager. Natsu's immaculate talent and abilities surpass many of the other characters in the series, though his matured skills don't always align perfectly with his carefree and overly ambitious behavior.
Natsu is one of Fairy Tail's most beloved characters, essentially surviving as its main protagonist (even if the anime can sometimes feel like an ensemble piece). He loves to fight and prefers to use violence to resolve any issue he faces, but he can also be vulnerable in the right situation. His temperament and character make him a fan favorite, with so many of the series' most intense moments revolving around him. Natsu develops strong friendships with most of Fairy Tail's central characters.
Lucy Heartfilia
Anime Debut: Fairy Tail (Episode 1)
- Age: 17
- Height: 5'5" (1.65m)
- Birthday: July 1st, X767
- Japanese Voice Actor: Aya Hirano
- English Voice Actor: Cherami Leigh
Lucy is not much shorter than her pink-haired Fairy Tail companion. At the start of the anime, Lucy is a passionate and intelligent teen with big dreams and even bigger potential. The bouncy blonde is fun and excitable, and she serves as the story's heart during many arcs. She is tough, emotional, strong-willed, friendly, and incredibly loyal to her friends and goals.
Although initially quite weak, Lucy grows quite a bit throughout the show's run, developing an efficiency and mastery of magic that sets her apart from nearly every other mage in this universe. Lucy's summons are powerful and peculiar, allowing her to adapt to many situations.
