A mage from the Fairy Tail guild who wields Celestial Spirit magic. Lucy is cheerful, clever, and often gets swept along by her disruptive guildmates when they go overboard. Empathetic, caring, and more likely to write novels than wage battles, Lucy becomes most emboldened to challenge enemies when she needs to fight for her friends. She is said to be a noisy and somewhat fussy person, and there are times when she can be naive and too easily forgiving, greedy for validation as well as overly confident at inopportune moments. However, despite any failings and instances of self-doubt, she doesn't allow herself to feel down for too long - her optimism is boundless. In July of Earth Land year X784, Lucy is a normal 17-year-old Fioran who wishes to join the infamous mage guild, Fairy Tail - although they have a reputation for being thoroughly destructive, she admires their strength and numbers. After a fateful meeting with two members of the guild in the town of Hargeon, Natsu Dragneel and his flying blue cat, Happy, she travels with them back to Fairy Tail, located in Magnolia, to begin the adventure of a lifetime.

Spoiler

Lucy's surname is quickly revealed to be quite significant, for it distinguishes her as a member of the Heartfilia family, who head a powerful and wealthy organization called the Heartfilia Konzern. The Heartfilia's connection to Celestial Sprit Magic becomes a key point later on.
