Power Progression

Background

Lucy grew up in the wealthy Heartfilia family. After her mother died, her father Jude became absorbed in his business and planned to use Lucy in a marriage alliance. Wanting freedom, she ran away and set her sights on joining Fairy Tail 138.

In Hargeon, Lucy met Natsu and Happy, then encountered a fake Fire Dragon who lured her onto a cruise ship with a false promise of guild membership. After her rescue, Natsu invited her to join Fairy Tail. Mirajane later stamped the guild emblem on her hand 71 73 75 78.

Appearance

Lucy is blonde and bears a pink Fairy Tail emblem on the back of her right hand 71 78.

• She wore an evening gown to the fake Fire Dragon’s cruise-ship party 73.
• In Star Dress: Leo Form, she wears a black battle coat, gold arm armor and a Leo-emblazoned breastplate; her hair is tied in a high ponytail 328.

Personality

Lucy values freedom and regards Fairy Tail as her real home. She can be anxious about dangerous missions, but her concern for others can overcome that fear: she volunteered to face Angel after learning how Angel treated her Celestial Spirits 138 180 189.
