| ~ Lucy to herself. |
Lucy Heartfilia is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Natsu Dragneel) of the Fairy Tail franchise. She is a Celestial Wizard who wanted to join Fairy Tail and obtain all 12 Zodiac keys.
During her time with Fairy Tail, she matures greatly, coming to greatly appreciate the bonds with her guild and fellow spirits and becomes one of the founding members of Team Natsu.
She is voiced by Aya Hirano in the Japanese version of the anime and Cherami Leigh in the English version, with the latter voicing Makoto Niijima.
What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- She is overall a kind and selfless girl, who is willing to help her guild without hesitation. This is more evident where she displays her kindness towards people who can be hostile to her.
- She is never bothered by Juvia's needlessly hostile attitude towards her in regards to viewing Lucy as a love rival, always treating her respectfully and supporting her as a friend.
- Despite Aquarius' abrasive and violent attitude towards her, such as hitting Lucy in the butt whenever she is summoned or intentionally getting Lucy caught up in her attacks, Lucy holds no resentment towards her and treasures her as equally as the rest of her spirits.
- While there are moments where she may hit her guildmates such as Natsu and Gray, this is done as comic relief. Almost all of those moments are when her guildmates break into her home without permission, when she's barely dressed, or when she's the victim of inappropriate behavior, so her actions are justified as self-defense, not excessively aggravated responses to minor foolish behavior. In addition, a large portion of these moments occur in the beginning of the series, and as she matures, the amount of times she hits her friends diminishes significantly.
- Though in the beginning Lucy possesses some corrupting qualities, such as vanity, greed and abrasiveness, she matures and loses all of these corrupting factors throughout the series.
- While she may dress immodestly at times, she does not use her good looks to take advantage of people for her own gain.
