Nice! I love emotional backstories! :D

Happy's backstory doesn't really count as "his" backstory imo. That was more like Natsu & Lisanna.

Hmm.... I really can't choose. Almost all the main ones are heartfelt. You mostly included FT mages though. Ultear's backstory is also pretty sad and while connected to Gray's, Gray didn't go through torture and experimentation and he never killed anyone in the traditional sense.

So yeah, I really can't choose DX Mashima is really good at bringing out emotion which was evident in RAVE as well. Or at least.... he was until Eclipse.... The emotion was ruined for me in certain areas of that arc. Mostly for the illogical and comedic stuff.
