Lucy Heartfilia

Lucy Heartfilia (ルーシィ・ハートフィリア Rūshi Hātofiria) is a Celestial Spirit Mage, a member of the Fairy Tail Guild and of its Team Natsu. She is the main female protagonist of the series.

Appearance
Lucy has brown eyes and blond hair that is usually tied by ribbons of a variety of colors in a singular bunch to the right side of her head. She has large breasts, and a curvaceous body. Her (presumed) measurements are Bust: 91 cm; Waist: 59 cm; Hip: 88 cm (37in, 23in, 36in). These measurements were later on revealed to be approximated slightly different, with the breasts being two centimeters less, and the others, one less.

Her member stamp is located on the back of her right hand and is pink. Additionally, Lucy does not consistently wear the same outfit. However, she always has a belt that, along with keeping her skirt up, holds her Celestial Spirit keys and a whip with a heart-shaped end. She also wears some sort of high heels. She bears a striking resemblance to her mother.

Personality
Lucy is a bit of a diva who takes exceptional pride in her looks and Magic skills. She is very confident in her appearance and sex appeal, often exuding a certain amount of vanity. Despite this superficial attitude, she is genuinely a clever, kind, and caring person. Lucy is passionate for literature and is in the process of writing her own novel about her adventures with Fairy Tail. Aside from her interest in writing and reading prose, she also likes shopping and cooking, assertive men, and her favorite color is blue. She is a member of the Heartfilia family, once one of the wealthiest and most influential conglomerate families in the country of Fiore. However, due to her estranged relationship with her father and the death of her mother, Layla Heartfilia, she left home to follow her own path.

Lucy is very kind to her Celestial Spirits, and refuses to use them as shields. She fights alongside them, and treats her spirits as people, unlike other Celestial Spirit mages, who views them as mere tools and objects. She will also go to great lengths to give them happiness, even at the cost of her life. Despite technically being an owner of the spirits, she refuses to be addressed as such, and instead prefers to be called their friend.

Though Lucy is, in most cases, cowardly, she has no problem standing up to fight, take damage, and run straight into danger for the sake of her friends and guild. While her powers are normally not as overwhelming as her teammates', Lucy has proven to be a capable combatant herself, often using her cleverness to her advantage, and thinking outside the box during battle. She has eventually developed Natsu's stubbornness and refusal to give up.

History
Lucy was born into the once extremely wealthy and powerful Heartfilia family. Her father and mother were originally part of a merchants' guild called 'Love & Lucky' where the two met; they decided to become independent when Lucy's mother, Layla, became pregnant. They chose her name when they noticed that the sign for the guild was missing the letter "K", and instead read 'Love & Lucy'; it made an impression on them, so they decided to name their daughter after it.

Back in her home, Lucy shared a good relationship with the staff in the estate as well as, presumably, her mother, until she passed away when Lucy was around the age of ten in the year X777. However, because her father was overly obsessed with his business and money, he had neglected his daughter, which eventually led her to run away from home just over a year before the beginning of the story.

Macao arc
Lucy is first introduced lamenting the lack of Magic stores in Hargeon. In the only Magic store in the town, she attempts to get a discount through her sex appeal for the Celestial Spirit Nikora, which costs 20,000 jewels, but is angered when the price is only lowered by 1000 jewels.

As Lucy fumes in the streets, a ruckus erupts near her which greatly piques her interest. Curious, she heads towards the commotion, hearing the name of the famed Fire Magic user, Salamander (who turned out to actually only be an impostor named Bora). Upon seeing him, her heart begins to flutter quickly, as she slowly moves towards him. This feeling, however, soon disappears when Natsu Dragneel and Happy interrupt the proceedings, thinking Bora is the dragon Igneel. Disappointed to find it was not the Salamander they had been looking for, they instantly move to leave, however, get attacked by Bora's legion of female fans, and eventually get thrown away by them when Natsu refuses Bora's signature. Lucy walks up to the two, wishing to thank them by treating them out. She explains that Bora was using the illegal Magic Charm, which attracts people's hearts to the user; Natsu's interruption took away that effect. She goes on to say that she is a Mage looking to join a guild, explaining what such is, as well. Remembering that the two were looking for someone, she asks as to who it is. They reply that it is the dragon Igneel which shocks her, making her remark that such a thing would never be in the town. She goes to leave, but Natsu wishes to thank her by offering Bora's signature, which she dramatically refuses. He and Happy instead kneel, and bow down fully in gratitude, to Lucy's embarrassment.

Later, on a park bench, she reads about the exploits of the guild Fairy Tail in the Sorcerer Magazine when Bora suddenly appears before her, from the bushes, having eavesdropped on her. Unbeknownst to Lucy, he casts the Charm Magic upon her once again as he offers to help her join Fairy Tail if she joins his boat party later that night. She agrees, dressing up for the occasion. On the boat, Bora offers her a drink, but she slaps it away, remarking that it is a sleeping drug and that she has no intentions of becoming his girl. He then reveals himself to be a slave trader and plans to sell Lucy along with the other girls on the boat. With his goons holding her still, he takes her Celestial Spirit keys, and, as they are useless to him, throws them out the window.

Just as Lucy is about to be branded, Natsu suddenly crashes through the roof and Happy helps Lucy escape. Happy's Magical wings soon wear off, and they both drop into the sea, where Lucy dives underwater and miraculously finds her keys. With them, she calls upon her Celestial Spirit Aquarius who, after a warning to never drop the keys again, summons a powerful wave that shipwrecks Bora's boat ashore. Aquarius, however, catches Lucy and Happy in her wave as well and flushes them aboard the boat. From there, Lucy worriedly rushes to help Natsu, who turns out to be completely competent in battle, actually being a Mage himself. Using his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, Natsu easily defeats Bora and his goons, but overdoes it, thus destroying a large portion of Hargeon's port. The arrival of military soldiers forces them to run away from the scene; Natsu grabs onto Lucy and tells her that if she follows him, she can join Fairy Tail.

A day or so later, Lucy arrives at the Fairy Tail guild, in awe and mostly shocked at the many varied personalities of its members. A brawl develops in front of her, started by Natsu, and during that fight, she meets the other members, Gray Fullbuster and Mirajane Strauss. She also comments that none of the guild members are acting normal. The brawl is eventually stopped by Fairy Tail's Guild Master Makarov before it escalates into one with usages of Magic. Makarov initially begins to scold the members for their destructive actions, but soon breaks into an inspiring speech about following the way of Fairy Tail. Night falls, and Lucy opts to have her member stamp on the back of her right hand.

Natsu is looking for another job on the guild's request board, but overhears that Macao Conbolt, a Fairy Tail member, has been missing for a week, and his son Romeo wishes for Makarov to look for him; to which the latter refuses. Natsu punches the board and leaves with Happy. Curious, Lucy asks Mirajane Strauss what is wrong with him, and she explains that perhaps, Natsu sees his own past happening with Romeo; in the past, his foster parent, Igneel the fire dragon, disappeared so suddenly. Out of curiosity, Lucy decides to go along with them into the furiously snowing mountains and begins to regret coming because of the sheer cold. Stealing Natsu's blanket and wrapping herself up in it, she then summons her Celestial Spirit Horologium, a clock spirit with a compartment where she can hide herself in for warmth.

One Vulcan, a monster Macao had been subduing, suddenly appears and attacks Natsu before kidnapping Lucy, as it likes women. The Vulcan takes her to its cave, where it parades around her until Horologium disappears. As the Vulcan advances, Natsu catches up and demands to know where Macao is. Just as the Vulcan appears to confide Macao's whereabouts, he abruptly pushes Natsu off a cliff instead. Enraged and horrified, Lucy summons the (perverted) Zodiac Spirit, Taurus.

Taurus and the Vulcan immediately sets to battle, but stops as Natsu reappears, having been saved by Happy. He knocks out Taurus, thinking it is another monster. Natsu then fights and swiftly defeats the Vulcan. Much to their surprise, the Vulcan is actually Macao, who had been "taken over" by the Vulcan's Magic. Having been smashed into the wall, Macao falls through a hole in the wall and is saved from falling down the mountain, thanks to the combined efforts of Natsu, Happy, Lucy and the revived Taurus. Macao, now back up, is found to be seriously wounded, and Natsu resorts to the extreme of burning one of Macao's wounds shut, which brings him back to consciousness. He tells them that he had successfully subdued 19 other Vulcans, but had been taken over by the twentieth one. At this, Lucy feels she is no match for them. They return to Fairy Tail's town, Magnolia, and Macao and his son Romeo reunites.

Daybreak arc
As Lucy is settling into her new home, she finds that Natsu and Happy have brazenly broke in. As she attacks and scolds him, Happy sharpens his nails on the wall, distracting her from Natsu, who then peeks at her writings. She dives for them, keeping them away from Natsu, and demands that they leave, to which Natsu refuses. Giving up, she offers the two a cup of tea. Lucy teaches them about Celestial Spirits keys and the fundamentals of making contracts with them. She summons the Spirit of her recently-bought Nikora key. His peculiar appearance stirred Natsu and Happy's pities, believing Plue to be a failure on Lucy's part. She argues that that Nikora is a canine Spirit, and proceeds to contract him. In a "language" that only Natsu seems to understand, Plue apparently suggests that they should form a team, to which both Mages adheres. Their first mission is to steal a book, which involves an owner looking to hire a blonde maid, which makes Lucy think Natsu tricked her.

Upon arriving in the Town of Shirotsume, Natsu complains of hunger and goes off to a restaurant with Happy, while Lucy leaves them be to look around town. She returns in a maid costume, shocking both of them as they had only meant it as a joke. Regardless, they go to their client, Kirby's house to discuss the mission, and are stunned to discover the reward has been raised by ten times.

Impassioned, they head to Duke Everlue's mansion, where Lucy attempts to be hired, but is rejected for being too ugly for Everlue's taste. With infiltration no longer an option, they resort to invasion, coming through the roof of the mansion. They try to sneak around to find the book, but are quickly found by Everlue's maids, who are instantly defeated by Natsu.

They eventually come across a library, and after a bit of searching, find the book they have been hired to destroy: DAYBREAK. Just as Natsu is about to destroy it, Lucy snatches it off him, claiming that it is a book by the famous author, Kemu Zeleon, and that she has never seen it before. She refuses to allow Natsu to incinerate the book. Everlue appears at this moment, diving up from the floor, and after a short appraisal of his own genius, summons the Vanish Brothers to deal with the Fairy Tail Mages.

Amidst the commotion, Lucy skims the book and discovers something within the contents that makes her rush off. She asks Natsu to buy her some time, as she apparently decodes the hidden meaning. She somehow makes it into to the mansion's sewers and through the enhanced reading speed provided by her Gale-Force Reading Glasses, Lucy successfully discovers the secret within the book. Everlue abruptly reappears and ambushes her, grabbing her arms and threatening to break them unless she tells him her discovery. She says nothing, but is released when Happy strikes Everlue in the face.

Lucy and Everlue engage in battle. Lucy reveals Everlue's selfish nature when he tells how he had forced Kemu Zaleon to make the book about him. Not only that, but the book contained a further secret which proved he didn't deserve it. With this declaration, she summons the Celestial Spirit Cancer. Everlue summons his own Celestial Spirit, Virgo, in response, but Natsu accidentally arrives with her, because he grabbed her formerly. At Lucy's request, he punches Virgo into the ground while she and Cancer defeat Everlue.

They return to Kirby's mansion and Lucy returns the book. He initially wishes to burn it, much to Natsu's chagrin. Kirby then explains his past and why he wishes to get rid of the book. However, just as he is about to proceed with incinerating it, the book bursts into life - the letters rearrange themselves with the book's title, becoming DEAR KABY. Lucy explains that Zaeleon had placed a spell on the book and had written it to his son, Kaby. Much to her dismay, Natsu and Happy then say they cannot accept the reward because they had not specifically done what was asked. While they return on the path home, Natsu realizes that Lucy's earlier protectiveness over her writings was because she was writing a book herself. Embarrassed, she desperately asks for him not to tell anyone.

Lullaby arc
Now back at the guild, Lucy looks for another request poster and while talking to Mirajane Strauss, learns of the organization of guilds and the existence of illegal guilds, called Dark Guilds. Natsu frightens her as she talks, then goes on to hurry her to find a new job for them as he and Happy had chose last time. However, she no longer wishes to work with him. Gray explains that she should feel no need to team up with anyone, complimenting her on her work which she explains was really all Natsu. As Natsu and Gray begin to brawl, Loke flirts with her, but quickly runs away when he finds out she is a Celestial Spirit Mage - he then returns to tell Natsu and Gray that the S-Class Mage Erza Scarlet has returned.

Erza accordingly arrives with the large horn of a demon she has slain, and after scolding several members, turns to Gray and Natsu, who are acting like Happy (according to Lucy), and asks them to help her with a mission. Although Natsu and Gray both refuse, it seems to have fallen on deaf ears, as Erza immediately sets forth. Mirajane heralds the creation of this team as possibly "The Strongest Team" in Fairy Tail.

Mirajane also asks Lucy to tag along, in order to keep Gray and Natsu from getting into their habitual fist fights. On the day of their departure, in the train station, she keeps the two from breaking into a brawl by lying that Erza is approaching. Upon her arrival, Lucy introduces herself, as Natsu challenges Erza to a fight, once their mission ends, to which she readily accepts.

The team bounds the train, and, after knocking Natsu out to relieve him from his motion sickness, Erza explains about the mission. On her last job, Erza has apparently overheard guild members conversing about an accursed object called Lullaby, and of a Mage named Erigor. She admits that she failed to recognized the gravity of the overheard conversation, and only realized her mistake upon returning home. She recalled he was a member of the Dark Guild Eisenwald, and claimed such people would be up to no good. The mission she had planned was to walk into Eisenwald and destroy them.

Completely preoccupied with the mission briefing, the team bounds of the vehicle. A moment too late, they realize that a still unconscious Natsu had been forgotten in their compartment. They rush back to retrieve him, as Erza gets Happy to use an emergency stop signal lever to stop the train. They race towards it on a Magical four-wheeled train. Just as they arrive at the train, Natsu crashes out of one of the windows and lands headfirst into Gray.

After a bit of convenient amnesia, he informs them that he got attacked on the train by a member of the Eisenwald guild who had a strange flute, with a skull with three eyes. This description jogs Lucy's memory of a story about the cursed flute Lullaby, which kills anyone who hears melodies played from it. With this shocking revelation in hand, they rush towards the train station. On the way there, Happy mentions that he meant to tell Lucy something, but had forgotten, and as they try to enter the station, Lucy carries Natsu in - though she causes his motion sickness doing this as she is considered as a means of transport.

Inside, they are confronted by Eisenwald and Erigor, who explains his plan to use the station's loudspeakers to broadcast Lullaby. Distracted by Erigor, Gray and Erza failed to notice one of Eisenwald's members, Kageyama, attacking Lucy. Natsu, however, manages to save her in the nick of time. Erigor then flees, and Erza orders Natsu and Gray to chase after him while she and Lucy deal with the rest of his Dark Guild. Using her Magic, The Knight, Erza quickly dispatches all of their foes, but one escapes which she calls upon Lucy to give chase to. Lucy, along with Happy, loses sight of him and eventually reconvenes with the others beside a stabbed Kageyama. The two then find out that they have been trapped in a barrier of impassable wind, having been tricked by Erigor. At this moment, Happy finally remembers his message for Lucy--upon Virgo's request, the Maiden's Ggold key previously owned by Duke Everlue, was to be transferred to Lucy's ownership. Foregoing the usual process of contracting, Lucy summons Virgo and asks for the latter to use her superior digging powers to create a safe path of escape. Natsu immediately rushes ahead with Happy to defeat Erigor.

Bringing with them the injured Kageyama, Lucy, Erza, and Gray continue to travel along the train tracks, and eventually stumbles upon Natsu, who had successfully defeated Erigor. As the team rejoices, Kageyama unexpectedly makes a break for it, taking with him the flute. He aims to complete Eisenwald's original mission, which was to assassinate all the Guild Masters present in the annual meaning held in the town of Clover. Team Natsu rushes to subdue him, however, they eventually discover that their assistance had not been needed, as Master Makarov managed to sway Kageyama from his original purpose.

The Guild Masters as well as Team Natsu begin to celebrate their apparent victory when all of a sudden, the flute begins to "speak", and manifests as a gargantuan demonic form, which was said to be the true embodiment of the cursed "Lullaby". Erza, Natsu, and Gray engages it into mêlée and swiftly defeats the monster. Their battle, however, inadvertently destroys the regular guild meeting hall, prompting all the Fairy Tail members to make a quick getaway.

Galuna Island arc
Natsu and Happy invites Lucy to embark on an S-Class Mission. She is horrified to discover that, enticed by the hefty reward of such mission, Happy stole the mission's flyer. He attempts to relieve her by saying it was the least-paying one out of the available S-class jobs. Lucy eventually concedes upon learning that a Golden Key will also be given as reward.

As the trio prepares to leave for Galuna Island, several sailors and fishermen discourage them, claiming that the island is haunted. Their refusal stalled the Mages, and Gray eventually catches up to them. He had originally intended to bring them back to the guild, however, gets sidetracked as Natsu daunts him, and is forced to join. Together, they head for Galuna Island, accompanied by Bobo--the only fisherman who braved to set sail towards the accursed island.

The group continues forth, when Bobo abruptly disappears in the middle of the sea. Worried, Happy dives into the ocean to search for him underwater, but to no avail. As he resurfaces, Lucy and the rest of the team watches in horror as a gigantic tidal wave appears before them, and eventually engulfs their little boat.

Presumably a day after they crashed ashore, Lucy regains consciousness first, and asks if the others are fine as well. After Gray concedes to accompany them entirely, they venture into the island, and eventually meet the denizens of Galuna and learn of the curse inflicting them that had apparently turned them into demons. The mayor of the town also asks them to destroy the moon, believing it will free them from the curse. Realizing that the task he requires is impossible, Lucy and the others decide to investigate the island, and they encounter and defeat a giant mouse named Angelica, which leads them to a huge temple where they discover the monster Deliora.

After learning about the plot to free Deliora and destroy the town, Lucy and Happy hurries off to warn and save the townsfolk. Lucy prepares very simple traps in front of the entrance to the village, which Happy pokes fun at. Natsu, who was rushing towards to the village, falls in, however. After all the work Lucy had put into it, their opponents effortlessly flies over the village, preparing to drop a poisonous substance. Natsu redirects the poison and Virgo saves the mayor from being hit, but the village is destroyed. As Sherry Blendi, one of the people behind the scheme, flies off with her mouse Angelica, Lucy grabs on and tickles the mouse, and they all end up crashing to the ground.

When they both recover from the fall, they start to fight off against each other. Lucy immediately summons Taurus, however, is surprised to discover Sherry's Magic allows her to puppeteer anything that is not human. As Taurus turns against her, Lucy miraculously achieves Forced Gate Closure, which is said to be one of the greatest feats of any Celestial Spirit Mage. As the battle draws near, Lucy realizes they are approaching the ocean, and summons Aquarius, knowing of the Spirit's uncanny tendency to attack both friend or foe regardless. After Aquarius's attack, both Mages are stunned and dizzy. Lucy takes the opportunity to defeat Sherry. However, before Sherry loses consciousness, she commands her pet rat, Angelica, to avenge her. Lucy is about to be squished by Angelica, when Erza unprecedentedly shows up. The latter then saves Lucy, but immediately apprehends her, stating that her only purpose was to retrieve the team who ran away.

Gray argues and stands up to Erza, managing to convince her to abandon her original purpose momentarily, in order to complete the S-Class mission. Lucy and Happy are visibly relieved by this, however, both are terrified as soon as Erza reminds them of the punishment that awaits them at home.

After Lyon Vastia is defeated and Deliora is found to be dead, they head towards the camp set up for the villagers, but no one is there. As it turns out, the village went back to normal as if someone reversed time. With the mayor still insistent on destroying the moon, Erza discovers the truth about the island, and she and Natsu apparently destroy it, effectively lifting the curse from Galuna Island. In actuality, the exhaust fumes from the Moon Drip crystallized and created a layer in the sky, covering the entire island, and what they had destroyed wasn't the moon itself, but the aforesaid layering.

Without the layer in the sky, everything returns back to normal again. The people of the village are revealed to have been demons to begin with, and the "curse" that befell upon them was actually the side-effects the holy Moon Drip has on demons. It trampled with their memories, deluding them into believing they were humans all along. As their first S-Class Mission is finally over, Erza declines the reward, but takes the Gold Key when the villagers say that it was a sign of their friendship.

Phantom Lord arc
As the Team heads home from Galuna Island, Lucy and the others discover that their guild building has been sabotaged by their rival, the Phantom Lord Guild. Furious, Lucy and the team proceeds to confront Master Makarov about the occurrences, but in turn, receives lenient punishment for inappropriately taking on an S-Class job. As Natsu and the Master bicker, Lucy questions why the latter is spanking her derriere, and with a rather perverted expression on. Later the evening, Team Natsu decides to to crash into Lucy's apartment, explaining the no Mages were allowed to be left alone at all costs, much to Lucy's chagrin.

Later, they all see Levy McGarden, Jet and Droy crucified to a tree with the Phantom Lord mark branded on Levy. The master then arrives and declares war against Phantom Lord. The Fairy Tail members head towards Phantom Lord's guild house and wreaks havoc, while Lucy stays behind to watch over the injured Shadow Gear.

As Lucy is walking back from her visit with grocery supplies, she is greeted by Juvia Lockser and Sol from the Element 4. She attempts to battle them after finding out that they are associated with Gajeel Redfox, but is very overpowered, which leads to her capture (and her dropping of her keys). Lucy is later seen being used as bait to help seal Master Makarov's Magic power. Lucy awakes at Phantom's headquarters and learns from the guild master, Jose Porla, that her father had sent them to retrieve his daughter.

In order to escape, Lucy says she needs to use the bathroom, but was shocked when Master Jose claims such old tricks would never work on him, and offers a rusty bucket instead. Lucy proceeds to "take up" his suggestion, surprising Master Jose with her brazenness. As he turns away, saying he is such a gentleman, Lucy forcefully kicks him in between his legs, and runs away. He follows her, and corners her into a dead end. Lucy, somehow believing that Natsu will be there to save her, jumps off the tower's window. As she had expected, Natsu indeed appears, and catches her as they free fall into the ground. They return to Fairy Tail afterwards.

Back at the Guild, Lucy blames herself for the happenings, and explains how it had been her father who was responsible for pulling the strings behind them. Her friends try to cheer her up, but to no avail. As the war with Phantom continues, Mirajane feels it is better to hide Lucy to protect her, and puts the latter to sleep. With Transformation Magic, she disguises herself as Lucy, as Reedus brings the real one to Fairy Tail's safe house.

However, thanks to Gajeel's keen nose, he manages to find the real Lucy and forcefully takes her back to Phantom headquarters. After being beaten and tortured by Gajeel, Natsu and Happy show up to rescue her. As Natsu and Gajeel's battle progresses, Lucy realizes Natsu is on the verge of being defeated and she calls upon the only key she has remaining (the one she got from Galuna Island), Sagittarius. Sagittarius shoots his arrows at a machine, which catches fire for Natsu to eat. Fired up, he manages to defeat Gajeel.

Upon Phantom Lord's defeat, and with a little encouragement from her injured comrades (also being held and released by the Magic Council Knights), Lucy sets out alone towards the Heartfilia manor to meet her father, for the first time in a year. When Lucy arrives at the manor, she is happily greeted by her old servants. They deck her in fancy clothing, and wait outside as Lucy goes to her father’s office. Lucy enters and her father explains that the reason he sent Phantom to get her was because her husband has been decided by him. Lucy says not to misunderstand her, and that she came back to cut ties with him instead, as well as to make sure he would never threaten or come near Fairy Tail again. She shows her resolve by ripping her elegant attire, and claiming she does not need material things to be contented. She is then seen visiting her mother's grave as the others come to take her back to Fairy Tail. As she reveals the superfluous wealth of the Heartfilia family, the rest of Team Natsu are completely stunned.

Loke arc
Noticing Lucy worrying over her little amount of money, Mirajane suggests they do a simple acting job at a theater. She, along with the rest of Team Natsu are originally only to do some small acts to inspire bystanders to come and see a play. However, with all the theater's actors having walked out, Lucy and the rest of Team Natsu are forced to act as the leads themselves. Lucy is cast as Princess Yanderica. Happy is given the task of carrying a dragon suit that Natsu is in, and they are given a week to rehearse. Their show is atrocious, barely makes sense as a story in general, and they eventually destroy the theater, but despite all this, they are hailed as a success to the point that they're kept there for another week, doing three performances a day.

Upon completing another mission earlier than expected, the gang decides to stay an extra night at an inn before departing. With the others engaged in an intense pillow fight, Lucy goes for a walk and meets two rogue Mages. The rogue Mages cast a spell on her and are about to have their way until Loke appears and rescues her from them.

As a token of appreciation for having find her keys earlier with the Phantom incident, and for rescuing her as well, they go to a local bar. There, she tries to find out why he doesn't like Celestial Spirit Mages, but he refuses to answer. As she thanks him again and moves ready to leave, Loke suddenly grabs Lucy's hand, embraces her, and says he doesn't have much time left. Not wanting to get her involved, he quickly passes this off as a joke, which he receives a slap for.

Later at the guild, Lucy, who is still upset from the events of the previous night, learns that Loke had broken up with all his girlfriends. She summons Grandpa Crux, an expert on Celestial Spirit Magic, to ask about Loke's history with Stellar Spirit Mages. Grandpa Crux provides Lucy with a very brief story about Loke, and the late Celestial Mage Karen Lilica of Blue Pegasus. Lucy then recalls about Loke's vague "joke" and ponders about what he truly tried to imply. At this, Gray then appears and informs her that Loke has left Fairy Tail, and is no where to be found.

Realization dawns Lucy, and she springs into action, knowing fully as to where Loke is. She heads to Karen's grave, where he confesses that he is actually the Celestial Spirit Leo, and Karen was his former summoner. He claims to have killed Karen, and as punishment, was banished in the human realm.

Loke then recounts the whole story of him and Karen. After he finishes, Lucy says that it wasn't his fault and that she would save him no matter what. She tells him that if, because of one incident he had no control over, he would be doomed to perish, then she would change the rules of the Celestial Spirit world. At this declaration, the Celestial Spirit King appears before them, and says that, despite the power he beholds, the rule is absolute, and that Loke had inadvertently been the source of Karen's death. Lucy adamantly refuses any punishment to be inflicted on her friend, and manages to summon all of her Spirits at once, surprising the King and Loke greatly.

Moved by her resilience to protect her nakama, the King decides that Loke will be rendered a different punishment instead. Rather than dying, he would dedicate his life to serve Lucy as her guardian. His Key materializes, and Lucy officially becomes his new master.

Tower of Heaven arc
Out of gratitude, Loke gives Lucy and Team Natsu tickets to a resort, as he proceeds to carry her bridal-style, and claim to talk about their future. Later on, the team arrives at their vacation spot, and decompresses. However, problems arise and Erza gets kidnapped by her old friends. Lucy and her team, and Juvia, aided by Natsu's heightened sense of smell, follow Erza into the Tower of Heaven. There, they go on a quest to rescue Erza from the clutches of Jellal Fernandes and his minions. While looking for Erza, Lucy and Juvia encounter the "Hawk" Vidaldus Taka, one of Jellal's top three fighters and a member of the assassination Death's Head Caucus Guild team, Trinity Raven. As they fight, Taka uses his Rock of Succubus to enslave Juvia. As she fights Lucy, Lucy hears the real Juvia's voice and summons Aquarius through Juvia's water body. Lucy and Juvia join hands as Aquarius attacks, and together, they perform Unison Raid, defeating Vidaldus for good.

After this, Simon asks Gray to lead everyone off the Tower and she watches from afar as Natsu defeats Jellal, and complete destroy the tower. As Erza's friends leave to try to learn more about the "outside world" before truly trying to live a new life, Lucy sees them off, together with the rest of the Fairy Tail members, by making some fireworks with her Celestial Spirit Magic.

Fighting Festival arc
When they return to the guild, they find its reconstruction complete and Cana Alberona shows them around. Makarov startles them with the introduction of two new members: Juvia and Gajeel, their previous enemies. After settling down, they sit down for a a song from Mirajane; this calm state doesn't last long as the two Dragon Slayers soon cause a large brawl. Though Lucy was supposed to be the interviewee in the weekly Sorcerer Magazine for Fairy Tail, the reporter, Jason, instead ignores her throughout the whole time, as he constantly runs around in excitement, asking different guild members questions. Not giving up, Lucy decides to dress as a bunny girl and go onto the stage, hoping to gain attention, only to fail as Gajeel appears next to her and surprises everybody with his singing performance. He even threatens Lucy with a stare to force her to dance as he sings.

A few days later, Lucy desperately looks for jobs to pay her rent, and asks Natsu and Happy to help her out. Much to her dismay, Natsu is feeling under the weather and goes home to rest. Lucy grabs his scarf to stop him, but falls to the ground instead. Admitting defeat, Lucy goes home. On the way back, she realizes she still has Natsu's scarf and decides to wash it for him. She arrives in her apartment, and finishes her work. She decides to sleep, but was frightened instead when she finds Happy and Natsu asleep on her bed. Happy explains that Natsu has been feeling ill ever since he ate Laxus Dreyar's lightning.

He then goes on to explain about the strongest members in the guild, the strongest probably being Gildarts, and then gives Lucy a flyer about the Magnolia Harvest and the Miss Fairy Tail competition that is being run alongside it. He said it would solve all her monetary problems, as the competition offers a huge reward for the winner.

During the contest, Lucy, in a cheerleader getup, performs alongside her Spirits. She was, however, interrupted by Evergreen, a member of the Thunder God Tribe, who proceeded to turn her into stone, along with the other participants. Later on, Lucy and the other victims have been de-petrified as Erza successfully defeats Evergreen. Lucy quickly jumps into battle, easily escaping from Freed Justine's barrier set up around the guild house.

She encounters Bickslow (another Thunder God Tribe member) and is attacked by his puppets, consequently dropping her keys. He is about to finish her off with his Baryon Formation when Loke summons himself to save her and to fulfill his promise to her.

Loke, having significantly powered up since returning to the Stellar Plane, easily gains the upper hand in battle, as he proceeds to defeat Bickslow. The latter then, however, reveals his trump card: the Figure Eyes, which allows him to turn anything he sets his eyes on, into his dolls and control them. Unable to use their vision, the tables turn for Loke and Lucy as Bickslow overpowers them.

In the end, their immense trust in one another has pushed through. Through Lion Brilliance, Loke momentarily blinds Bickslow, paving a way for Lucy to subdue him. Through their solid partnership, Loke and Lucy manage to completely defeat their opponent. Her feat shocks Gajeel, who does not deem Lucy to be a particularly strong Mage.

After the battle, Lucy collapses from exhaustion and Loke returns her keys to her, stating that he will always be there for her. He also jokingly remarks that it was the power of their love that enabled them to win. Near the end though, Warren's spells inform the recovering Fairy Tail members of what's happening. Lucy and the rest of Fairy Tail then destroy Laxus's Hall of Thunder spell and save the town.

During the Fantasia parade, Lucy performs on a float together with Cana, Levy, and Bisca.

Oración Seis arc
Lucy is one of the members chosen along with Natsu, Gray and Erza to represent Fairy Tail for the upcoming battle against the one of the strongest dark guilds, Oración Seis.

They head to the villa of Blue Pegasus' Guild Master, Master Bob, to meet up with the rest of the members of their alliance, the Light Team--a league formed by four legal guilds: Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter. As Fairy Tail arrives, the The Trimens of Blue Pegasus welcomes them, flirts with the ladies, and openly ignore the boys. As the rest of the Light Team members arrive, they proceed to carefully plan their attack on Oración Seis, who are aiming to set into motion the powerful Nirvana. Unbeknownst to them, however, their opponents are fully aware of their plans, and catches them off guard. In the attack, Oración Seis not only overwhelmed the Light Team completely, they also managed to kidnap Cait Shelter's Wendy Marvell.

In the battle, Erza is poisoned by Cuberos, Oración Seis' Cobra's snake, and Lucy stays behind to watch over her. Blue Pegasus' Hibiki Lates then informs Lucy that her reputation has suffered quite the blow, as she is also blamed for her team's destructive tendencies. She quickly explains none of it had been her doing at all, but understands that the damage has been done regardless.

Natsu, having successfully rescued Wendy, returns to Erza's location, and pleads for the younger Mage to heal his injured friend. As Wendy sets into work, they see a black light in the distance. Natsu rushes towards it, believing that the revived Jellal is there as well. Distracted over Natsu's vague outburst, Lucy, and the rest of the party, is surprised to see Erza has disappeared as well. Hibiki proceeds to explain the truth about Nirvana's fearsome nature.

As they make their way towards the light, they encounter "Gray" standing above Natsu, about to deliver a finishing blow. Thinking Gray has yielded to the darkness, Lucy summons Sagittarius and he fires an arrow to save Natsu. "Gray" then proceeds to freeze Happy and shoots a blast at Lucy, but is saved by Hibiki. As Lucy and her team finally realizes what is happening, "Gray" then transforms into Lucy, tugs on her blouse upward, and brazenly flashes Lucy's bosom to the gaping audience.

"Lucy" then makes Sagittarius shoot Hibiki in the back. With everyone confused, the real Lucy tells Carla to take Wendy and run, then forces Sagittarius's gate closed. The other "Lucy" then summons Sagittarius and orders him to shoot Carla down. Soon after, Angel appears, saying it's not necessary and the other "Lucy" turns out to be the twins Gemi and Mini, the Celestial Spirits Gemini.

Lucy determines that she has to take on Angel herself and summons Aquarius in the nearby river. Angel, also being a Celestial Spirit Mage, opens the gate of the Scorpion, Scorpio, who turns out to be Aquarius's boyfriend. Elated by the arrival of her beloved, Aquarius abandons Lucy's orders as the couple go on a date. Taking advantage of the surprised Lucy, Angel attacks her, saying that Lucy has no hope of defeating her if she does not know the relationships between Celestial Spirits, and proceeds to knock Lucy into the river. Desperate, Lucy then summons her trump card, Loke. Angel, unperturbed, summons Loke's friend Aries.

Lucy is now distraught, saying that even Loke won't be able to fight. Seeing Aries, Lucy asks where Angel got Karen's Spirits, and Angel replies saying that she killed her and took them. Not wanting the two friends to fight, she tries to close Loke's door, but he refuses because it's his duty to serve his master. AS the two Spirits fight, Angel summons Caelum and shoots both Leo and Aries through their stomachs. With Loke apologizing, both Spirits fade away. Lucy, upset, calls Angel the scum of Celestial Spirit Mages and summons Taurus, only to have him get defeated by Gemini.

Lucy demands that Angel relinquish Aries' Key. She says the Spirit had suffered enough from her previous owner, and that Aries deserves to reunite at last with her friend, Loke. Lucy adds on by saying that she'll do anything in exchange, but she could never give her Keys up. Angel decides that Lucy's life would suffice, and Gemini continues to attack. However, before administrating the final blow, Gemini looks back at how long and how much Lucy loved Celestial Spirits and could not afford to kill her. Angel recalls him and is about to use Caelum again when Hibiki grabs hold of Lucy's neck. This shocks both Angel and Lucy, both thinking that he had turned to the darkness. Instead, Hibiki uses his archive to give Lucy a new Magic, which he calls a "super" Magic. With this, celestial bodies appear around Lucy and she uses Uranometria to defeat Angel. After using the spell, Lucy doesn't seem to remember what happened.

Angel then gets back up, saying that she would not be defeated, and that Oración Seis never loses. Angel fires Caelum, but the energy beam somehow veers around Lucy and hits the stump holding the raft Natsu is on. As Angel falls again into the water, Lucy tries to save Natsu from going down the river, but ends up on the same raft, heading towards a waterfall and falling over.

Moments later, the two Mages regain consciousness, and Lucy is astonished to find her wounds treated and outfit changed, courtesy of Virgo, who decks Natsu in a matching getup as well. During this moment, Sherry, who has fallen to the darkness, shows up and is about to attack both of them, when Gray appears and and apprehends Sherry. Lyon follows suit, actually being alive and in good condition. Relieved to see that Lyon relatively unharmed, Sherry is released from the darkness and returns back to normal. After witnessing Nirvana's second stage, Lucy, Gray and Natsu decide to climb up one of its legs to reach the series of towers perched atop the device's general body.

When Lucy and Gray finally arrive in the capital of Nirvana, they meet up with Jura Neekis and Hoteye, who explains that long ago, Nirvana was created by the race called the Nirvit for the purpose of peace. Ironically enough, it is now presently being used to execute evil intentions.

As they go on to explain that Brain is the one controlling Nirvana, Midnight shows up to assassinate them, and takes them aback with his powerful Magic as he effortlessly slices a building in half. Hoteye gives them a chance to escape, saying he will take on Midnight. Eventually, Lucy, Gray and Jura catch up to Brain, who is dragging Natsu an unconscious away. Brain reveals his plan to turn Natsu into a member of the Oracion Seis and that his first target with Nirvana is Cait Shelter. At this, Natsu unexpectedly bites Brain's hand, successfully managing to release himself. Lucy and Gray plan to attack Brain, but Jura steps in himself, and assaults Brain unmercifully with his Rock Magic. He demands Brain's reasons in destroying Wendy's guild, which catches the others offguard.

After Brain's defeat, Lucy and the rest of her teammates head towards the capital's summit hoping to find any means to stop Nirvana. They unfortunately stumble upon nothing, but Wendy runs off, realizing a possible way to shut it down. Hoteye then telepathically communicates with Light Team, saying he was unable to defeat Midnight, and the latter is now located at the bottom of the capital.

Lucy, together with her companions, rushes towards Midnight's apparent location, where they stumble upon a set of doors which Natsu recklessly destroys. In the last moment, Jura realizes they had fallen into a trap, and shields the younger mage with his Earth Magic and his own body. The explosion that follows gravely injures Jura, and Lucy, and the others, treats him immediately. At this, Brain's apparently living staff, Klodoa, arrives, and reveals he is actually the seventh member of the supposedly-six-member Oración Seis. He is then comically smacked around by Natsu. Levitating in the air, Klodoa reveals that Cait Shelter is made up of descendants of the Nirvit, thus they are the only ones able to seal Nirvana, and consequently must be eliminated.

All of a sudden, Klodoa starts to attack Natsu and Gray, and even manages to sneak a peek at Lucy's panties before attacking her as well. Klodoa then senses that all of the six have been defeated, goes into a panic and declares that when all of the six "prayers" have falln, Brain's other, more savage personality, Zero, emerges. At this moment, Zero himself arrives and ruthlessly beats Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy to a pulp. Blood-frenzied, he says that they are not defeated, until they are completely reduced to nothing.

As the Light Team briefly stalls Zero's plan from unfolding, their friends call for the beat up Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and Happy to get back on their feet, and fight once again. It was Sherry's strong words that finally snapped some senses into Lucy, as the four of them determinedly stand back up. They immediately set forth towards the different lacrima crystals they must destroy.

Despite her tenacity, however, Lucy is still very much exhausted, and is running low in Magical energy. At a loss on what to do, and on the verge of tearing up, Lucy is surprised as Gemini, who took her form once again, suddenly appears before her, and says they will take her place instead. Gemini as Lucy easily summons Taurus, who destroys the lacrima, at the signal.

After the team's successful mission, Lucy and the members of Team Light celebrate their victory in Cait Shelter. It was there where the truth about the nature of Wendy's guild is revealed, which greatly astounds Lucy and her friends. She and the representatives of Fairy Tail eagerly invites Wendy to their guild, as the latter worries gravely on a place to go to. Just before Team Light disbands for good, Gemini, Scorpio, and Aries appear and offer Lucy their Keys. They say that upon Angel's defeat and her consequent, their contracts were terminated as well, and the three Spirits would love, more than anything, to be in the hands of the kind-hearted Stellar Mage, Lucy.

Daphne arc

Edolas arc
With the Oración Seis defeated, Lucy then heads back to Fairy Tail with her companions and Wendy. The two Mages were surprised when a loud bell in Magnolia chimes, and it is revealed that Gildarts Clive has returned. Lucy tells Wendy a little bit about him, saying that Gildarts is supposedly the most powerful Mage in Fairy Tail and that she had never seen him before. She then watches as he sends Natsu into the ceiling with one hand, and was shocked to realize that he couldn't finish the 100-Year Quest he took on.

As Mystogan reveals the truth about Anima to both Wendy and Carla, she is seen at the guild wondering when the rain would stop and wishing that something interesting would happen. Then when Anima begins sucking Magnolia Town, Horologium, who felt that the fluctuation in space-time, appears and saves Lucy by hiding her in another space for a while. Lucy then finds herself alone in what is left from Magnolia and meets Mystogan for the first time. Mystogan tells her about Edolas, a parallel world and explains her the current situation. He then gives her a pill that will preserve her Magic, and sends her to Edolas.

Lucy then goes on her own to search for her friends. In Louen City a group of soldiers confuses her with her Edolas counterpart and try to arrest her. Lucy struggles against the guards and before Natsu could try to help her, she summons Scorpio and blasts all of the soldiers way. When they reunite, Lucy is overjoyed at seeing them again, but gets shocked when she sees her Edolas counterpart, Lucy Ashley. She tells Natsu to take care of the rest of the soldiers, but Natsu tells her that she's the only one who can use Magic, leading her to believe that she has become the strongest Fairy Tail Mage. She then summons Aries and they all escape to the forest.

Lucy explains how she wound up in Edolas. Lucy Ashley comments on how they're still going to fight against the kingdom even though they can't control their Magic properly (Earth Land Lucy protests that she can use hers). Lucy proclaims that as Fairy Tail's (current) strongest Mage that she'll be the one to solve everything, to which Natsu, Carla, and Happy say they have no choice but to count on her as Wendy cheers her on.

Arriving in the town of Sycca, the team decides to stay the night in a hotel, where Lucy and her Edolas counterpart shower together. As they come out, Lucy Ashley proceed to reveal her body to Natsu, but Earth Land Lucy quickly intervenes and covers up. Natsu cracks up at this, and when demanded why, he says he finds it funny that two Lucys take a bath together, which stuns the two females. At this, Ashley asks Lucy to summon a Spirit that could cut her hair, to help people distinguish them.

The next day, Lucy becomes furious with Ashley who disappeared, and only left a note saying that she's going back to her guild. Her anger, however, quickly dissipates as she finds a book narrating the history of Edolas. While reading, she and Natsu notice that an airship had just landed. Listening to Natsu's idea of stealing the airship, Lucy decides to battle the Royal Army with Loke. However, Virgo came out in his stead, as he apparently went out on a date and cannot be summoned at the moment.

Nearly captured by the Royal Army, a man with a Magic four-wheeler, arrives and saves Lucy and company, and takes them out of the city. As they travel, the man introduces himself as Natsu the Fireball to them. In the capital, they witness their guild trapped in lacrima, and Natsu, enraged, moves to create a commotion. Lucy tearfully holds him back, placating him as she says she understands the pain as well. Later that day, she and Carla make up a plan to know how they should turn back the guild to normal. Lucy plans on using Gemini to transform into Faust and read his mind. This plan was never completed, as they are captured by Erza Knightwalker and her troupes, during their infiltration. Imprisoned, she is put in a separate cell from Wendy and Natsu, and is about to be executed.

Moments later, Knightwalker arrives at Lucy's cell to kill her. The latter attempts to persuade the general, saying that her Earth Land Erza is actually a member of Fairy Tail and is a good, responsible person that everyone can count on. However, Knightwalker is not swayed, and tells Lucy not to confuse her with her Earth Land counterpart.

Knightwalker then suspends Lucy over a balcony and tells her that she is fortunate because she likes to look at the suffering of others. She is known as the Fairy Hunter, as she has killed dozens of members of Fairy Tail. She then sarcastically comments that she'll be seeing Lucy, before throwing the latter off the balcony.

Luckily, Lucy is saved by Carla and Happy at the last moment. Carla tries to exploit Erza's lack of information and presents herself as Extalia's princess and a daughter of Queen Shagotte. She then tricks Erza into revealing the location of Natsu and Wendy, then tries to have the two Dragon slayers released, as well.

Carla's deceit almost succeeds, when the rest of the royal guards unfortunately arrive and Pantherlily informs Erza that Carla and Happy are actually "fallen" (traitors). All three flees immediately. Carla asks Lucy if she is angry at them, at which Lucy does not understand as to why she should be. Carla states that it is their fault that she got caught in the first place and Lucy replies that they came to save her anyway. She then adds that she is more surprised by the fact that Carla is a princess.

The group then tries to reach the West Tower, where Wendy and Natsu are both trapped. Unfortunately, Extalia troops face them in the air, and the Magic Militia awaitss them on the ground, leaving them trapped. However, in a lucky twist of fate, Faust decides that now is a perfect time to invoke Code ETD, which transforms the Extalia troops into a giant cat lacrima.

As the Magic Militia is distracted, Lucy, Happy, and Carla make their way to the basement of the West Tower, where they are ambushed by Erza Knightwalker and soldiers once again. Just as Knightwalker is about to execute Happy, the soldiers behind her are suddenly blown away and Lucy starts is overjoyed, as both Earth Land Erza and Gray appear, having joined the fray.

She later learns that it was because of Gajeel's Dragon Slayer Magic that Erza and Gray were freed from the lacrima. She also discovers that the reason she could emply her Magic in Edolas was because Mystogan fed her the X-Balls, a medicine that allows the Earth Land Mages to use Magic in Edolas. Later, she runs around in the castle with Gray and Natsu trying to locate the King. During that time, Lucy comments on how confusing the layout of the castle is and that she wouldn't be surprised if there is even an amusement park inside. True to her prediction, the group actually encounters one, along with Hughes and Sugarboy. Lucy then prepares to battle the two captains alongside Gray and Natsu.

Hughes then shows off his weapon, Command Tact, which allows him to control anything and everything within the amusement park. He then attacks Natsu with a roller coaster from behind. Lucy shouts at him before falling into Sugarboy's trap, which makes both Gray and her sink into the ground. After Gray hauls her into the air, she attempts to free Natsu from the hell roller coaster but fails, as Hughes eventually makes them fall into a body of water. She then looks at Hughes in comical disbelief, as the latter laughs at a candid shot of Natsu and Lucy on the coaster.

The presence of water makes Lucy realize that she can summon Aquarius, which she immediately does. However, the situation turns grim as Aquarius discovers she has absolutely no control of the water, and finds out it is still Sugarboy's territory. Lucy looks on in shock before being engulfed with the water attack by Hughes. His attack somehow flushes Lucy into an outfit-changing device. Natsu then hatches a plan for Lucy to seduce Hughes with sexy clothing, but fails when Hughes, unfazed, attacks them using monsters located in the attraction anyway. Later, Lucy runs away from the hoard of monsters, only to bump into Coco, who has Byro chasing after her. Byro then asks Coco to hand the "key" (actually referring to the one used for controlling the Dragon Chain Cannon) to him, but Lucy mistakes it as Byro asking for her Stellar Keys instead. She engages Byro in battle, and inadvertently defends Coco as well.

She summons Taurus, who he is quickly defeated by Byro's Flame Liquid. She then calls for Virgo who successfully lands a hit on their opponent, causing him to fall into the hole she made. This backfires as Byro consumes his Octopus Liquid, turning him into a giant octopus-human hybrid. He then captures Coco. Virgo states that she could not do anything against such opponent, and Lucy is forced to run. Virgo then gives her the extending whip, Fleuve d'étoiles of the Eridanus Constellation from the Celestial World, in order to conserve her Magic power.

Virgo's concern on her well-being lifts Lucy's spirits, and drives her to fight for Coco. Seeing Byro hurt the younger girl repeatedly, Lucy states that protecting your friends is the most important thing. Employing Fleuve d'étoiles, she manages to tie up Byro's legs, and have him hit Monster Academy. He subsequently catches fire thanks to Natsu's punch (which was directed to Hughes), which eventually leads to their defeat.

Before Coco could hand them the key, Sugarboy slides by and takes it, then being chased by Gray on a motorcycle. Lucy and Natsu chase after them. Sugarboy softens the floor, and Lucy gets stuck under Byro's tentacles with Coco. After the cannon is fired, Lucy reappears with Coco on her Legion. Erza, Natsu, and Gray hop on and they head for the Lacrima Island. By helping Natsu and the others, Lucy is able to buy enough time for Mystogan to send Fairy Tail back to their world. Lucy, as with the rest of her friends, is extremely flabbergasted upon discovering that Mystogan, in reality, is actually the Prince of Edolas.

While helping the Exceeds escape from the Royal Army, Lucy, along with Erza Scarlet, Gray, and Coco, were again ambushed by Erza Knightwalker and her force. The two Erzas battle against each other, and Lucy and the others fight against the rest of the army. Even with Loke's help, the sheer number of the Royal Army nearly defeated them until the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild appeared and evened the fight. She was helped by her Edolas counterpart, and watched the rest of the battle. Magic, however, was taken away from Edolas at a crucial time. Although the Royal Army ran away, she saw the whole guild was in a state of panic as well. Lucy tries to calm them, only to be yelled at by her counterpart for not realizing that a Magic guild cannot possibly exist without Magic.

Lucy is later seen with Gray and the others as the Anima begins to suck up the Exceeds and Earth Mages, commenting on the fact that since the Anima is sucking Magical power out of Edolas, it was kicking them out as well. Lucy then says goodbye to the Edolas Fairy Tail, and travels back to Earth Land with the others.

After arriving back with her friends, Lucy is relieved to see that Magnolia is intact. She is, however, also surprised when the Exceeds show up as well. They relate the truth about their plan to save the 100 unborn eggs. Eventually, they bid goodbye to the Earth Land mages, and Lucy and her friends return to their guild. As they head out, they are surprised to see a smaller Pantherlily. When Pantherlily reveals that he has caught someone suspicious, Lucy is seen with the others looking shocked at the revelation that Lisanna's Edolas counterpart is also in Earth Land. She is later seen wondering what's going on when Lisanna admits that she is actually the Earth Land Lisanna, and then along with the others, she helps Lisanna return to her siblings.

Tenrou Island arc
As the guild celebrates the arrival of Lisanna, Lucy is surprised to see that Evergreen and Juvia have changed their appearance. Moments later she witnesses how the guild starts another ruckus, telling Juvia not to strip just to impress Gray. After the guild's little skirmish is over, she wakes up to find everybody still asleep. Her eyes then fall upon Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman with their arms around each other. While looking at them, she comments on how happy she is for them to be able to see each other again. As she looks around again, she sees Natsu, bends down and stares at his face wondering if he has ever felt lonely due to him being unable to see Igneel. Lucy then comments about how cute Natsu can be while he is asleep.

Seconds later, Natsu abruptly punches her in the face, and Lucy goes flying through the guild roof and into the river by her house. A few days later, she bathes by herself and gets a shock when she discovers that Cana is in the bath tub with her. Cana then talks a little with Lucy, and confesses that she wishes to leave Fairy Tail. In the guild house, Lucy relates this to Mirajane, who comments that this happens to Cana every year. Lucy then wonders why several guild members suddenly began taking on more jobs than usual. The day after, Lucy witnesses the announcement of the S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial and is very surprised that there was even such an event.

As Lucy heads home, she stumbles upon a drunk Cana sleeping in the snow. She takes the latter home, where Cana reveals the reason why she must, at all costs, become an S-Class Mage. She adds that should she still fail this year, she will leave Fairy Tail for good. Fired up over this, Lucy determinedly pitches herself on the trials by becoming Cana's partner.

On the day of the Trials, the participants and their partners head towards Tenrou Island, Fairy Tail's holy land, aboard a ship. Lucy complains about the blistering heat and says that she will melt while sprawled in a lawn chair in what Levy calls a slovenly manner, and Happy will eat her gloppy remains. Shortly after, the Master arrives and explains the rules of the first trial.

As soon as the Trials commence, the runes that Freed had been surreptitiously setting up moments before, activate, effectively trapping the other participants who have no means of bypassing it. Waiting out the five-minute-rule set by the rune, Lucy and Cana quickly swim towards the island, and are upset to discover they are the last to arrive. Lucy attempts to lift Cana's spirits by saying a fortunate twist of luck usually happens in situations like this.

Once they take the last, unoccupied path, they eventually realize that they have wounded up in a Battle Path, and must face against another team in order to progress to the next level. To both girls' horror, they are confronted by Freed and Bickslow, whom they had no chance against during the Magnolia Festival battle, with Cana being completely overpowered by Freed, and Lucy only able to win against Bickslow because of Loke's help.

Now at a terrible disadvantage as Lucy could not possibly summon Loke (who had resumed his human self and partnered up with Gray for the Trials), Cana is surprised when Freed tells them to first put more clothes on as their being clad in bikinis serves as a big distraction for him.

Cana, realizing that Freed's weakness is women, takes advantage of the situation and unleashes the Sexy Lady Card, which summons a throng of voluptuous women, in skimpy swimsuits, that surrounds Freed. This move manages to knock him out. Lucy attempts to help by summoning Virgo who is only in her undergarments, but the Spirit is easily taken out by Bickslow's dolls. His dolls continue to attack, and Cana makes an attempt to hit them using the Prayer's Fountain Card, but misses. With the presence of water, Lucy then summons Aquarius, and quickly calls out for Cana to anchor herself onto something. Aquarius' attacks successfully defeats Freed and Bickslow. Afterwards, the Spirit then banters with Cana, and Lucy notes how similar the two women are.

At their opponents' defeat, a path is paved for Lucy and Cana to continue onward. Freed and Bickslow then talk about how they had intentionally allowed the two females to win, and how Freed feels he owes them, from the uproar they caused during the Magnolia Festival. He adds how Lucy and Cana are actually lucky to have ran into them.

Lucy and Cana meet up with the winners of the first trial, and welcomes Gray and Loke upon their arrival. Master Makarov then announces who had been defeated in the previous event, and Gray is openly shocked to discover Team Cana had actually beaten Team Freed. As the Master finishes his announcement, Lucy mentally runs through the list of which teams took which possible path, and concludes Evergreen and Elfman must have ran into Mirajane. She is surprised to find that while her conclusion is true, Team Elfman has also successfully defeated the Take-Over Mage. Lucy then sees Happy worrying over Natsu brooding over something, and the Dragon Slayer comments he is not depressed, but is thinking instead. Happy is absolutely flabbergasted at this, amazed that Natsu is actually thinking about something. Lucy wonders how lowly the Exceed thinks of his partner.

Natsu abruptly stands up, and challenges the remaining participants to see who will win. The Master then reveals the next trial, which was for the competitors to locate the grave of Mavis Vermilion, Fairy Tail's first Master, as well as its founder. As Lucy and Cana get on with the Trial, they are suddenly chased by gigantic, lizard-like creatures. Managing to evade their pursuers, Lucy contemplates on the Master's words. The second trial tests their intelligence, and she repeats his clues in her head. She realizes with a jolt that she knows where Mavis' grave is, and she rushes off, with Cana right behind her and cheering her on. Unbeknownst to them, Gray and Loke follow after them.

Later on, Lucy and Cana see the warning signal Erza had launched, calling for everyone to get into battle formation. Cana is extremely upset over the cancellation of the Trials, and determinedly says she will proceed with the second trial regardless. Gray and Loke then make themselves known and calms Cana down. The girls ask why the two boys were following them, and Loke proceeds to relate the truth, but was stopped by Gray. The Ice Mage drops the topic, and suggests they head back to the camp, as they know very little about the sudden enemy.

As they make their way back to base, they are suddenly ambushed by members of Grimoire Heart, whom they fight off against. Caprico, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory, then teleports them away, and announces that he would be their opponent instead. As their fight begins, Caprico immediately kicks Lucy into a wall and continues kicking Gray and Loke. As she and Cana get up, Caprico explains to the group what Grimoire Heart Guild is actually trying to accomplish by obtaining Zeref.

Caprico then reveals himself to be the Celestial Spirit, Capricorn the Goat, under the control of Zoldeo. Loke volunteers to fight the other Spirit, alone, saying that Human Subordination Magic Capricorn is under, will not affect him as a Spirit. Lucy is vehemently against the idea of leaving him behind, but Loke manages to persuade her. Before she heads off, she warns him that no matter what, he should return to her. After Loke's battle with Capricorn, his Key returns to Lucy's belt, and he informs her that Capricorn will join her side as well. Lucy then excitedly relays this to Gray and Cana.

As the three walk together, Cana suddenly suggest they split up to look for the Seven Kin. Lucy stammers her protests, and Cana says she'll be with her. Gray reluctantly leaves them after a little disagreement. As the two walk together, Cana inquires about the location of Mavis's grave. Lucy then explains that she tried to associate different six-letter words with "grave" and when asked about why they had to be six letters, she says that the six-hour time limit hinted at something being six letters. She then says the only word she could come up with was "DEMISE" and that the letter "E" is suspicious in that it pops up twice. She asks Cana if she remembers that the first paths were lined up according to alphabetical letters. Without warning, Lucy loses consciousness and falls on the ground as Cana secretly uses the Sleep Card on her. Cana then drags the sleeping Lucy a short distance away, but leaves her out in the open regardless. Still asleep, Lucy is happened upon by Kain Hikaru, another one of the Seven Kin.

He tries to stomp on her but she wakes up just in time. Lucy then questions him about Cana's whereabouts to which he replies that it doesn't matter because he'd kill her soon anyway. She then begins to wonder to herself, how she got there, was she sleeping, and when she got separated from Cana, and then resolves to do something about Kain. He then runs behind a nearby tree trembling and stating that he's strong and that it didn't matter who his opponent was, they wouldn't live if they faced him. When Lucy tells him that anyone who challenged Fairy Tail would be challenged by her as well, he simply tells her to hold on a second and starts vigorously scratching his head. He then strikes a pose, and tells her that they were going to fight. He adds that he will also show her the power of his Magic Ushi no Koku Mairi.

He then pulls out a doll, and asks Lucy for some of her hair, as his Magic requires his opponent's hair for it to work. Lucy immediately turns down his request, and Kain goes on to explain his ability, stating that if he were to put some of her hair on Mr. Cursey he would be able to manipulate her movements. She stated that after hearing that she definitely would not give him any hair at all. Kain is apparently gobsmacked at such revelation, and Lucy asks if he had only realized that.

Lucy claims she has never heard of Kain's Magic, and believes he is merely bluffing. To prove his abilities, Kain places wisps of his own hair on Mr. Cursey, and hands it over to Lucy. She rams the doll against the ground, and made it do a split in mid-air, before he angrily took it back and started chasing after her, stating that he was incredibly pissed off.

Lucy berates herself and says now is not the time to be playing around. She summons Taurus, whom Kain effortlessly knocks out. She calls for Sagittarius, who fires a few arrows, all of which Kain deflected easily, before the Spirit is defeated as well. Lucy then summons Scorpio who uses Sand Buster, but the attack has no effect on Kain at all, and Scorpio is eventually knocked out too.

As Lucy realizes Mr. Cursey is actually strengthening Kain depending on the material it is made out of, Kain then transforms the doll into a source of light, and blows Lucy with a powerful blast. Mr. Cursey then chances into cotton, before transforming once again, into iron this time. Kain dives forward to smash Lucy, but Natsu intervenes, kicks him in the face, and sends Kain flying over to Ultear, who easily sidesteps her teammate's body.

Natsu asks Lucy what she was doing there, and she asks him the same question, thanking him for saving her as well. Happy remarks that Lucy was sent flying over in their direction rather ungracefully, to which Lucy asked if there was a "cool" way to be sent flying anyway. Lucy asks if Natsu had an opponent prior to his arrival, and the latter replies that Kain was his, as Lucy could not take out the Grimoire Heart Mage. Lucy argues that she had not intended to battle Kain anyway, and that it would have been a close fight, even for Natsu himself, to which he argues back.

Natsu says he would be able to take Kain down, and Happy states that Natsu faces two opponents now. The Dragon Slayer remarks that they themselves had another member on their side anyway. Natsu finally acknowledges the Trials are put hold, and offers to team up with Lucy for the time being. At this, the Stellar Mage remarks that it was nostalgic, Happy says it made him of the time back when they first met, and Natsu exclaims that he is all fired up now. Lucy and Natsu share a high five and the two Mages agree that their enemies should be taken down.

Kain gets back on his feet and agrees to battle Natsu and Lucy by himself. Ultear then takes her leave, and Lucy warns Natsu that they could not allow her or any of their enemies to do so. Natsu rushes at Ultear but Kain gets in the way. Lucy attempts to help, but soon realizes she is under Kain's control. The Grimoire Heart Mage reveals he had taken a strand of her hair while chasing her from before. He takes his revenge by toying with her, and manipulates her to attack Natsu.

Natsu successfully avoids one of Lucy's attacks and prepares to strike back. However Lucy's unpredictable movements prove too much for him to avoid. After a while, Natsu is eventually able to restrain her, and Happy steals Mr. Cursey. Kain, however, knocks Happy with one blow and tries to recover his doll, but Natsu takes it instead, trying to counterattack. Kain acts faster and delivers a powerful blow to Natsu which sends the Dragon Slayer crashing and half-buried in a pile of boulders. Unable to move on his own, Lucy tries to summon Virgo, but has no more Magic power left and the Stellar Mage subsequently captured and tortured by Kain. Natsu asks her to run, but Lucy refuses, prompting Kain to try to kill her by crushing her head. Before he can do it, Natsu grabs Mr. Cursey, and manipulates Lucy into repeatedly assaulting Kain. He then ignited her arm with his Dragon Slayer Magic, and gives the doll to Happy. The Exceed then employs his Aera, and rushes towards Kain with blinding speed. Lucy, aflame, lands a powerful kick on Kain's face, which finally knocks the Grimoire Hear Mage down.

Having triumphed over their opponent, Lucy proceeds to pull Natsu out from the debris he was buried under, without having much of a feat. Happy then suggests Natsu break free on his own by destroying the boulders with his flames. Natsu effortlessly frees himself, and looks around to discover Zeref, who was previously nearby together with Ultear, is missing. Natsu remarks that something is getting in the way of his sense of smell.

Lucy then raises her leg and says she has to look for Cana. Natsu asks her why she was raising her leg, and Lucy realizes that Happy is toying with Mr. Cursey, who still had a strand of her hair attached to it. She then begins to chase after Happy, and Natsu says that it is time to take a nap. Lucy then says (while bending Happy's body with Mr. Cursey) that they could not afford to rest, because she is worried about Cana, and they must search for Zeref as well. They then begin to speak on Grimoire Heart's goals and Natsu says that as they had laid a finger on Master Makarov, they would never be able to leave Tenrou Island. Lucy then realizes that Grimoire Heart must have a ship anchored somewhere on the island, and asks Happy to go search for it. He replies that he is out of Magic power. Natsu then states that they should head back to where Makarov is resting, and that they would have Pantherlily or Carla take care of it instead.

Team Natsu arrives at the place where Makarov is resting, and finds Mest back with Fairy Tail once again. Natsu inquires on where Mest had been, and Lucy remarks that he is not actually a member of Fairy Tail, rather is a part of the Council. He then tells Lucy that his real name is Doranbolt, and Wendy proceeds to politely question him on certain things. Doranbolt tells her not to worry because he came there to help them, which surprises Happy and Carla. He then says that with his powers everyone can leave the island, but Lucy and the others refuse. Despite Mest's attempts to convince them otherwise they all decide to stay on the island and fight.

Lucy is then seen changing into clothing brought to her by Virgo and she along with Wendy and Natsu try to convince Doranbolt to stall the council while they defeat Grimoire Heart. Later, she, along with Wendy, Natsu, Happy, and Carla, is beaten in one blow by Grimoire Heart member Bluenote Stinger.

Lucy is then lying on the ground and shocked at the strength of Bluenote. Suddenly, Cana arrives and attacks Bluenote with her cards and tries to follow with Fairy Glitter but fails due to Bluenote's Magic. Cana asks for Lucy's forgiveness and reassures her that she will beat Bluenote with Fairy Glitter. Lucy is delighted to hear this and asks her if she found it on the first master's grave. Upon hearing this, Natsu remembers the trial but Cana tells him to forget about it and help her fight. However before she can finish talking, Bluenote uses his Magic to send them flying. He then approaches Cana and tells her that he will be taking the Magic, but Cana tells him that only Mages from the guild can use it. However, Bluenote tells her about the origin of Magic, a story that Lucy once heard. He then levitates her and was about to kill her when Natsu uses his Fire Dragon's Roar on the ground that allows him to counter Bluenote's gravity Magic and attack him which allows Cana to attack him with Fairy Glitter.

The attack, however, was parried onto the ground, and Bluenote further taunted her about her Magic and her Fairy Glitter. Cana was stunned by the fact that he was still standing, while Bluenote explained that he can extract the Magic by killing her. When Bluenote was about to kill Cana, Gildarts arrives just in time to stop him much to everyone's relief and delight. After Gildarts' arrival he orders everyone to get away, and the force from Gildarts and Bluenote clashing sent Lucy and the others flying. After realizing that they'd only be in Gildarts way Lucy and the others left. Later when Azuma destroys the Great Tenrou Tree, Lucy is seen collapsing along with the other members of Fairy Tail. After Erza defeats Azuma, Lucy feels her Magic return to her. Later, Lucy, Natsu, Wendy, Happy and Carla arrive at camp to see most of the comrades injured, and Rustyrose defeated. The members left standing decided to form an attack and defense team in their final battle against Hades.

After watching the rain fall, Natsu eventually gets up, ready to face Hades and tells Happy and Lucy to come on. Lucy thinks she should be defense, but Freed and Bickslow say to leave it to them. Wendy and the cats agree to go attack as well, and the group sets out. Before Lucy leaves, Lisanna tells Lucy to stay close to Natsu, for he becomes more powerful when he has friends near him. On the way to the final battle, Erza and Gray join up with the group, and they stare down Hades on-top his airship. Hades tells the group he will be waiting inside for their battle. Before going in, Natsu tells Carla, Pantherlily, and Happy to go through the airship to make sure it wouldn't take off during their battle. Gray then uses Ice Make: Stairs, and they all climb into the battleship. Lucy tells everyone to go all out right away. Natsu, Gray, and Erza, start off right away with a combo, followed by Lucy summoning Taurus, who slams down with his axe, making Hades stumble. Wendy then uses Arms Spell X Armor X Vernier on everyone. Lucy summons Scorpio who attacks with Wendy to make a Unison Raid. After more attacks, Hades emerges unharmed. Hades asks if their done with "warmup", and then yells Katsu. Wendy disappears with only her clothes left behind.

Wendy appears in Horologium unharmed. Horologium tells everyone he was in Automatic Danger Response Mode. He detected a powerful spell was about the be used, and saved Wendy's body. Horologium sends Wendy back down with new clothes, and everyone prepares to attack again. Hades overwhelms everybody with his Magic though. Hades eventually tells the kids his history as the second master of Fairy Tail, and how Makarov has made bad changes to the guild. Natsu defends Makarov's changes, so Hades prepares to finish him off. Lucy yells for him to stop. Just before the spell is released, Laxus Dreyar appears and head bashes Hades.

Lucy watches as Laxus battles Hades on mostly even terms until Laxus is hit by one of Hades explosion attacks. As Hades uses a big attack to finish Laxus, Natsu is given Laxus' lightning, and Natsu seemingly defeats Hades. However, Hades recovers from Natsu's attacks, unaffected. He then unleashes his Devil's Eye by removing his eye patch. Having exhausted his Magical Power, Natsu can do nothing but watch as Hades prepares to kill them.

Everyone resolves to not give up despite not having any Magic Power, and they rush to attack Hades. Hades asks them what they can do with such a small amount of power, and then, he orders his demons to dance. Natsu trips while running to battle, but Lucy and Wendy grab him and throw him forward. Gray and Erza then kick Natsu further forward, allowing Natsu to close in on Hades. A big explosion then occurs on Hades ship.

Hades realizes his heart was destroyed, which was done by Happy and Carla. With his heart destroyed and his power source gone, Hades is defeated by Natsu, Erza, and Gray. The battle ends and the Exceed finally arrive while being chased by Grimore Heart members. Natsu and the others have already run out of Magic, but then the members in the camp come to the rescue. After the war Lucy rests at Tenrou Island camp with her guild mates.

Everything is interrupted when Acnologia, the infamous Black Dragon, lands on Tenrou Island and starts attacking everyone. All of the Fairy Tail members start moving towards the ship as the dragon goes on its rampage. Makarov then enters full Titan mode and grabs Acnologia, holding it off from attacking the guild members. Everyone wishes to help Makarov, but he shouts not to disobey his final order. When Makarov is overwhelmed by Acnologia, all of them return back and go all out against the dragon. As Acnologia, having shrugged off all the combined attacks from its assailants, flies high up into the sky and readies to fire a breath attack against Tenrou Island, the guild members join their hands in a circle. While promising they will return home to Fairy Tail, they are struck by Acnologia's blast, which completely annihilates Tenrou Island, leaving nothing behind.

X791 arc
Lucy along with the rest of the others return to the Fairy Tail Guild after being found by Bisca, Alzack, Jet, Droy, Max, Warren and The Trimens from Blue Pegasus. She watches as Mavis Vermilion reveals that she was the one who saved them, then disappears afterwards. Lucy, along with the other returning members, is welcomed back by Romeo.

After enjoying a long party after their return, Lucy returns to her apartment, where she's met by the owner, who, while glad that she's alive, tells Lucy that with seven years gone missing she owes 5,880,000 jewels. Lucy realizes the effects the seven years is going to have on her new life. She realizes her father must have been worried and goes to visit him at the Love & Lucky guild along with Natsu and Happy. However, she is told by a member that her father had died over a month ago, which greatly shocks her.

A distraught Lucy, along with Happy and Natsu are later seen walking on a road. Here they encounter two girls complaining about their fathers and wishing they were dead. This prompts Natsu to yell at the girls. Lucy tells him to stop and apologizes for making them worry about her. When Happy asks if she was alright, Lucy replies that she was, except she was caught off guard because it was her Dad. She looks back at her time with her father and how she didn't like him, adding the Phantom Incident to the list. Nonetheless, she reminisces on the time she went to save his father back in Acrifa and how much their relationship has changed since. She questions why, despite the great sadness and loneliness she feels, she could not bring herself to cry, and wonders if she had really hated her father. Natsu assures her that wasn't the case, saying tears has nothing to do with how a person truly feels.

Later, Lucy sulks as she sits by a park. Her Landlady arrives and silently drags her away, much to Lucy's dismay. She finds herself thrown into her own room, the Landlady shuts the door and stands behind it. Lucy is surprised to find it perfectly clean to which the Landlady replies that she cleaned it every week (though some of her clothes 'went bad' and she took an outfit for herself.) She directs Lucy to her table where she sees several presents, from her father, wishing her a happy birthday, which greatly shocks Lucy that he remembered. She also tells Lucy that another one came today, along with a letter from her father, stating that she is his and Layla Heartfilia's pride and that he had always loved her. Crying, she says she loved him too and her Landlady moves to leave to give Lucy the privacy she deserves. Natsu and Happy arrive with a job, and had planned to take Lucy along with them. However, they are shocked when the Landlady informs them the letter that came for Lucy, also came with the seven years worth of rent. As they run off to do the job (now apparently the only ones without food or money) they tell Lucy that they'll buy her some food. As they say this, she thinks to herself that despite the seven years that had passed without them, they will be living in this world regardless. She then tells Happy and Natsu she is coming along as well.

Key of the Starry Sky arc
Note: Events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

Grand Magic Games arc
Lucy, and several other Fairy Tail members, heads to the beach to train for the Grand Magic Games. On their first day, however, they play around instead, and decided to relax as it is only the beginning. Later that day, Lucy summons Caprico, and asks for his guidance on overcoming her primary weakness--her lack of Magical power, especially during crucial moments. He proceeds to tell her that she must feel the earth, the wind, the air, with her skin, and must synchronize her breath with nature. Doing as she was told, Lucy begins to emit Magical power to the point where it is completely visible, but then gets exhausted and falls back. She then starts talking about "The One Magic" and how her mother had told her that it's what people call love.

Later that evening, Lucy and the girls take a bath in a hot spring, as the boys peep on them. As she glances heavenward and admires the stars, she decides she will put more effort into bettering herself for Fairy Tail.

On the second day of training, Virgo, having opened her own Gate, appears and tells her that the Celestial Spirit World needs her help. The Spirit teleports everyone to the Celestial Spirit World, sans Jet and Droy. Surprisingly, instead of the danger that Virgo speaks of, Lucy and her gang are instead welcomed with a party held in their honor. She reunites with her Celestial Spirits, and the team parties for the entire day.

After the celebration, Virgo whisks them back into the Human World. Natsu comments that if one year in the Spirit World equates to a mere day in the Human World, the Astral Plane would undoubtedly make good training grounds. Virgo shocks them, however, when she explains that it was actually the other way around, and that one day in the Spirit World spans to three months in Lucy's world, thereby leaving Fairy Tail with only five more days to train until the Games.

As Fairy Tail worries over making it in time, a messenger bird perches atop Erza's head, and a single letter invites them to go to the suspension bridge deep in the west woods. There, Lucy and the members comes upon the remains of a tattered bridge, that suddenly fixes itself as they arrive. Taking it as a threat and a challenge, they venture further. As they cross the bridge, they are surprised meet up with Jellal, Ultear, and Meredy. The three, having established their own, indepent guild Crime Sorcière, explained about a malevolent force they have been feeling in the Games for years now. They say that because of the nature of the guild's members, none of them are allowed to participate and investigate upon it further. In turn, they ask for the assistance of Fairy Tail on the matter.

Ultear assures them they will help Fairy Tail to the extent of their abilities. She says that with her improved Time Arc, she can extract and unleash the hidden potentials of Mages. Lucy and the gang immediately take up her offer, as such process will have powered them up even more than any other training they could have underwent. However, Ultear warns that the process will be extremely unpleasant, and tormenting.

Lucy watches in horror as Natsu writhes around on the floor in pain, as Ultear begins the process. Later that evening, she, along with the rest of the Fairy Tail members, suffers the same fate and moans in pain as the procedure continues.

Lucy and the rest of Team Natsu arrive at Crocus, the capital of Fiore, where the Grand Magic Games will take place. While still extremely exhausted over the extraction proceedings, Lucy claims she feels her Magic power has increased significantly. Meanwhile, Makarov and some guild members meet with them, as he reminds them of their participation in the tournament. Levy briefs them about the rules. Later on, Lucy eventually meets up with Natsu, and Happy who left earlier to explore the city.

As they tour around, Natsu overhears a fight has broken out, close by. They see some Mages on the floor defeated by the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, who make fun of Natsu who, despite being a Dragon Slayer, failed to defeat Acnologia, the Black Dragon. Lucy tells them that they are only saying that because they haven't met the dragon themselves, but is then surprised when they reveal that they actually killed the dragon}Dragons that taught them Dragon Slayer Magic

Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and Happy arrive at their quarters just in time for the preliminary round, which will reduce the amount of teams from one-hundred thirteen, down to eight. The task consist of navigating through a sky labyrinth in order to reach Domus Flau. With the absence of Wendy, Elfman, who just came back from his training with Lisanna, volunteers to fill in. The team runs into Twilight Ogre, and after taking their map, the team gets the idea of taking other guilds maps to navigate through the maze. Once they do, Team Fairy Tail is surprised to find out they barley managed to get eighth place.

When Gray, who stepped up to participate in Hidden, the first game of the tournament, is repeatedly attacked by Nulpting of Raven Tail, Lucy takes note that they only seem interested in attacking Fairy Tail, even neglecting others that have exposed themselves. Once the game is over and the battle portions are to begin, Lucy is selected to battle Flare Corona of Raven Tail.

Vowing to win for Wendy and Gray, Lucy begins her battle with Flare, demonstrating her ability to summon multiple spirits at once and to combine their attacks. As the battle continues, Lucy begins to use her Fleuve d'étoiles against Flare's whip-like hair. However, Flare plays dirty, aiming to attack Asuka, distracting Lucy who becomes open to attacks. With Asuka as hostage, Lucy is restrained from fighting back and gets beaten up by Flare. Luckily, Natsu was able to hear Lucy's cry for Asuka, found Flare's hair and destroys it, giving Lucy the chance to fight back. She summons Gemini and prepares to cast Urano Metria with it. However, the Magic is dispelled by one of Raven Tail member,Obra, before it can hit and Lucy collapses from exhaustion, giving Flare the win.

Lucy is extremely devastated over her loss, to a point where she fails to watch the succeeding matches, as she cries inside the shower. . As the first day of the Games concludes, Levy addresses a letter to Lucy, claiming something worse than Fairy Tail's loss was brewing about already. The next day, Lucy and Gray fail to show up in the bar where Fairy Tail has gathered, and Juvia's imagination goes haywire, as she assumes Lucy must have kept Gray somewhere and even confessed to him. As Juvia's imagination makes a turn for the worse, Lucy and Gray show up, and Levy worries over her wellbeing. Lucy jabs a thumb-up towards Levy, and claims she is actually more pumped up than ever. As was the Fairy Tail spirit, Lucy and the rest of the guild all cheer for their goal of becoming the number one guild in Fiore once again.

In the middle of the guild's merrymaking, Bacchus challenges and wins over Cana in a drinking match. Erza recognizes him, and Lucy visibly shivers as she comments that his strength is on par with hers. Later on, Carla has another vague premonition, and foresees Lucy singing something as Mercurius collapses around her. .

On the second day of the games, Lucy, along with the members of Fairy Tail present in the event, is touched over Natsu's strong affections for his guild, as he strives to finish the challenge despite being extremely weak to transportation. After the event, she visits the infirmary and inquires about his and Wendy's health. Carla refuses to tell Lucy anything about her premonition, and the latter heads off, saying the rest of the guild are waiting for her. She then watches the battles that unfold, and catches the eye of a beat-up Flare. Lucy turns away as she sees Flare being threatened.

Magic and Abilities
Celestial Spirit Magic (星霊 魔法 Seirei Mahō): Lucy practices Celestial Spirit Magic, which allows her to summon Celestial Spirits, Magical beings residing in the Celestial Spirit World, using the Keys of their respective Gates. When summoning a spirit, the Keys are enveloped with a soft, golden light. Once a contract has been made with a Spirit, such Spirit will be available for Lucy to summon on certain days, in which it will fight on her side and perform several tasks for her. Her Celestial Spirits have varying levels of power, with different ones being more suited for certain tasks than others, not necessarily related to battle.

For example, Aquarius can control water, creating powerful waves which can sweep away large amounts of foes, while Taurus has enormous physical strength, making for a valuable melee fighter able to flank Lucy during battle and tackle opponents on her behalf. However, Celestial Spirits are sentient beings who possess personalities and traits, and are thus able to act accordingly during battle, sometimes even ignoring Lucy's orders and acting on their own, something which is usually portrayed in a comical way (such as Aquarius acting arrogantly and catching even Lucy herself in her attacks, or Taurus having perversive tendencies about her).

Lucy explained to Natsu Dragneel that Celestial Spirit Mages have the potential to obtain extremely rare Gold Keys, which open the gates of the "Ecliptic Zodiac", and common, store-bought Silver Keys. According to Lucy, while there is a large number of Silver Keys, there are only 12 Gold Keys, each of them being related to a specific astrological sign. Thus far in the series, Lucy has obtained 10 Gold Keys and 4 Silver Keys, a considerable amount for a single Celestial Spirit Mage. Lucy's ability to summon her Spirits is limited by how much Magical Power she has to sustain them; the more (and more powerful) Spirits she summons, the more of her Magic is exhausted. She was shown capable of using five of her Ecliptic Zodiac Keys in one day, a noteworthy feat. Lucy also demonstrated the ability to summon Celestial Spirits only by calling them instead of using the keys.


 * Force Gate Closure: Lucy is able to force the gate of a Celestial Spirit to close against their will, prompting them to return to the Celestial Spirit World. Such skill would come in useful if one of her Spirit had been taken over by the foe through various means and was forced to attack her, allowing Lucy to remove them from battle without actually harming them. For a Celestial Spirit Mage obtaining this ability seems to be a remarkable feat.


 * Multiple Summons: Lucy has gained the advanced ability to summon more than one Celestial Spirit at once: she was even shown summoning all of her Gold Keys (5 of them at the time) and one of her Silver Keys (Nikora) at once, something which greatly astonished Loke; however, due to the large amount of Magic Power required for such feat, she was able to keep it active for just a handful of seconds. In the anime, this mass summoning was further enhanced, with Lucy calling forth all of her Celestial Spirits at once. She later gains a greater control over this ability as seen during her fight with Flare.
 * Combination Attacks: After receiving a boost in power, Lucy is now capable of using multiple summons nearly effortlessly. This gives her greater flexibility as she is able to combine their attacks to form new and more powerful ones, in a similar manner to Unison Raid. She can also use her own Magic in combination with another spirit to increase the power of an attack.

Unison Raid (lit. Fusion Magic)(合体魔法 (ユニゾンレイド) Gattai Mahō (Yunizon Reido)): A spell which allows two Mages to unite their Magic into a single, combined and stronger attack. This is, apparently, a highly advanced form of Magic, with many priests having wasted their entire lives trying to achieve it, without success. However, Lucy and Juvia Lockser succeeded on their first try, with Aquarius's giant wave combining with Juvia's own water to create a powerful, large whirlpool which not even Vidaldus Taka's water-proof hair could absorb. Later on, Lucy managed to achieve Unison Raid again, this time with Wendy Marvell, combining Scorpio's Sand Buster with Wendy's Sky Dragon's Roar in a single, powerful vortex, which, together with Gray Fullbuster's Ice-Make: Hammer, greatly enhanced Natsu Dragneel's speed, allowing him to strike Hades with his Fire Dragon's Sword Horn.

Uranometria (ウラノ・メトリア Urano Meteoria): A powerful spell, known as the "Ultimate Magic of the Stars", in which the knowledge to achieve such was momentarily bestowed upon Lucy by Hibiki Laytis through the use of his Archive Magic. It is the only known Caster Magic she's capable of using. After she had been granted such spell, Lucy fell in a state of trance, in which she went on to chant out the spell's incantation. This prompted the area around her target to become full of star-like lights, followed shortly after by a dark blanket reminiscent of a night sky. All of the star-like lights explode at the same time, causing heavy damage upon the target. Once Uranometria had been casted, Lucy woke up from her trance, completely unaware of what she had done. This spell was used to defeat Angel, a member of Oración Seis. It seems to be exhausting to cast, with Lucy claiming to lack the energy to move after waking up from the trance. During the Grand Magic Games, Lucy combines her Magic power with Gemini and together they cast this spell. However, the spell was cancelled by another Mage before its effects could be seen.

Ushi no Koku Mairi (丑の刻参り Ushi no Koku Mairi): Kain Hikaru's Lost Magic, which was taught to him by Hades, Ushi no Koku Mairi revolves around the use of the doll Mr. Cursey, which is essentially a voodoo doll: if a person's strand of hair is placed on Mr. Cursey's head, manipulating Mr. Cursey will allow the user to manipulate that person as well. Lucy was first shown employing the Magic on Kain himself after the man had recklessly given Mr. Cursey to her with his hair on it, in order for her to try out his powers. After stealing Mr. Cursey from Kain, Lucy, Natsu and Happy momentarily gained the ability to use this Magic, with Natsu and Happy manipulating Mr. Cursey while the doll had Lucy's hair on it, and Lucy thus being controlled to fight.
 * Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (Lucy Version): While Lucy is being controlled with Mr. Cursey, Natsu ignites one of her hands (although without actually harming her) through the use of his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, in a similar fashion to his own Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. (Unnamed)


 * Secret Attack: Lucy Fire (必殺　ルーシィファイア Hissatsu Rūshi Faia): With Lucy's hand still set aflame, Happy grabs the doll and, employing his Max Speed, prompts it and Lucy's whole body to catch fire. He then sends both of them at the target, with Lucy delivering them a powerful melee blow with her legs, which is enhanced by both Natsu's fire and by the momentum gained from Happy's Aera. This "technique" was powerful enough to defeat Kain himself, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.

Enhanced Durability: Despite her fragile appearance and her tendency to avoid combat, Lucy has proven herself to be quite resilient: she was able to survive the assault of a sadistic Zero, while she was still unconscious and somehow get back up; withstand a barrage of kicks from Kain Hikaru, an individual capable of breaking down trees and rocks through sheer physical power, without incapacitating damage, and also endure Kain trying to crush her head with his massive arms. Later on, during Team Natsu's fight with Hades, she survived being blasted, together with Erza, by one of his explosions.

Keen Intellect: Lucy has proven herself to be a very intelligent, logical and intuitive Mage. She was able to figure out that Bora had slipped a sleeping drug in her wine without tasting it. Being an avid reader, she has also shown to be adept at solving words-related puzzles and riddles: she was able to see through the spell which Zekua Melon casted onto his Daybreak book and work out the book's true content; in addition, during the S-Class Trial, she figured out the location of Mavis Vermilion's grave with relative ease through the use of the "clues" hidden in the Trial's setup, being apparently the only member of Fairy Tail to achieve this.

Skilled Melee Combatant: While not as proficient as the other members of Team Natsu, Lucy possesses some skill in melee combat: despite not being often shown due to her tendency to avoid battle or have her Spirits fight for her, she is efficient in using a whip, being skilled enough to grab opponents through it's use, and to employ it as an effective weapon at short-to-mid range. In addition, while never relying on punches, likely due to her limited physical strength, Lucy possesses some kicking prowess, being shown employing kicks in both comedic and real battle situations.
 * Lucy Kick (ルーシィ・キック Rūshi Kikku): A so-called "final attack" which is more of simple, non-Magical melee move: Lucy lashes out in her target's direction, then jumps and uses the gained momentum to strike the opponent with a simple kick. While not particularly powerful or exclusive in its performance, this attack was effective enough to defeat the leader of the Naked Mummy Dark Guild's raid squadron sent to rob the Love & Lucky Guild.

Equipment
Her basic items are her Celestial Spirit Gate Keys. Currently, she has fifteen different keys.

Gold Keys:
 * Gate of the Water Bearer Key: Summons the Water Bearer, Aquarius.
 * Gate of the Golden Bull Key: Summons the Golden Bull, Taurus.
 * Gate of the Giant Crab Key: Summons the Giant Crab, Cancer.
 * Gate of the Maiden Key: Summons the Maiden, Virgo.
 * Gate of the Archer Key: Summons the Archer, Sagittarius.
 * Gate of the Lion Key: Summons the Lion, Loke.
 * Gate of the Twins Key: Summons the Twins, Gemi and Mini.
 * Gate of the Ram Key: Summons the Ram, Aries.
 * Gate of the Scorpion Key: Summons the Scorpion, Scorpio.
 * Gate of the Goat Key: Summons the Goat, Capricorn.

Silver Keys:
 * Gate of the Southern Cross Key: Summons the Southern Cross, Crux.
 * Gate of the Clock Key: Summons the Clock, Horologium.
 * Gate of the Lyre Key: Summons the Lyre, Lyra.
 * Gate of the Canis Minor Key: Summons the Canis Minor, Nikora (Plue).
 * Gate of the Compass Key: Summons the The Compass, Pyxis.

Normal Whip: A normal whip which Lucy initially employed as her weapon of choice. It was brown in color, completely covered in small rhombs, and possessed a notably large handle, in comparison to the thin rope part. It ended in a distinctive, heart-shaped cracker. Lucy was usually shown carrying it around rolled up, secured to her left hip via a small clasp on her belt.

Fleuve d'étoiles (エトワールフルーグ 星の大河 Etowāru Furūgu): An extendable whip coming from the constellation of Eridanus, in the Celestial Spirit World. After losing her standard whip during her imprisonment in Edolas, Lucy was given this weapon by Virgo to fight Byro, in order to avoid depleting all of her Magic Power by summoning her Spirits. While not in use, only the whip's handle is visible, this possessing a simple, cylindrical form, with a dark central part and lighter edges; the lower one is covered in stud-like ornaments and has a small rope hanging from it, to which a star-shaped pendant is attached. When the weapon is being used, a jet of flowing water is created from the handle, which remains compact, and twists as if it were a whip's rope part. The water seems to have material properties, with Lucy being capable of grabbing foes or objects with it, as well as to perform attacks. The Fleuve d'étoiles is Lucy's current weapon, with her carrying it around in the very same spot which her old whip used to have, attached to her belt, in correspondence to her left hip. "Fleuve d'étoiles" is French for "River of Stars", living up to the whip's appearance and origin.

Gale-Force Reading Glasses (風詠みの眼鏡 Kazeyomi no Megane): Lucy, being an avid reader, possesses a pair of enchanted reading glasses, allowing her to read at an extremely accelerated rate. Through their use, she was capable of reading Daybreak, a full book, in only a few minutes. Having a simple, plain dark frame and elongated oval lenses, the only distinctive traits of such Magical glasses are the small carving on the left lens' bottom left part, consisting of a small wing flanked by a pair of stylized hearts, as well as the wing-like protrusion on the side of the frame. It's unknown what rate of reading speed Lucy's pair provides.

Relationships
Lucy, even as a newcomer, manages to make friends with everyone in the Guild, due to her kind and friendly personality, prompting the Guild members to risk their lives to protect her during the Phantom Lord arc. She is also very friendly with her Celestial Spirits, unlike most other Celestial Spirit Mages who treat them as mere tools.

On the other hand, Lucy had a somewhat strained relationship with her biological family. While her Mother doted and cared for her deeply, and presumably had taught her to love Celestial Spirits as well, her bond with her Father is rather estranged. He had neglected her as child in favor of bettering their family business, and her mother's death devastated Lucy greatly. Her cheerful disposition, however, has allowed her to befriend the servants of the Heartfilia Kozern.

Upon coming back to the year X791, Lucy discovered that her Father had sent her gifts during her birthdays for the past seven years, firmly believing that she will come back. He also payed for her apartment's rent in Lucy's absence, fearing she might not be able to shoulder the price when she returns. Through this, Lucy realized her Father had truly loved her all along, and finally reconciled with him, in memory.

OVA: Welcome to Fairy Hills!

Eventually, Lucy finds a small treasure box in a hole of a tree trunk. Erza then joins her and as they open it, they find several jewelries, and Erza recalls of the time their matron Hilda had still been alive, and how the jewelries were her gift to her as a child. She also says that the treasures should be divided evenly to the Fairy Tail tenants, and to Lucy who had found them. As the truth behind Lucy's quest is revealed, the request flyer disappears in the air, as well as her costume. Later on, another odd job is present in the Guild's board, and Hilda reappears to wish Lucy good luck. The latter yells for the matron to pass away already.

Trivia

 * Hiro Mashima gave Lucy her name when he was listening to the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".
 * Presumably, she joined the guild on July 3.
 * There is an inconsistency with Lucy's age. In an omake, it was mentioned that it had been exactly upon Lucy's membership to the guild, which would make her 18. In the same omake, however, Lucy claims she is still 17. On the other hand, it was also stated that it had only been six months since she first joined Fairy Tail.
 * During a Q&A, when a reader asked who was the lead female character in Fairy Tail, Lucy immediately considered herself as such. However, Hiro Mashima said people can draw their own conclusions.
 * If she were to compare herself to an animal, Lucy would have considered herself to be a rabbit.
 * Her ideal type is an assertive man.
 * According to Byro, Lucy's Celestial Spirit Magic may possibly have the same fundamentals as Anima.
 * In the manga, Lucy changed clothes during the Phantom Lord arc after she got captured. In the anime, she wore the same clothes.
 * Mirajane somehow has a spare copy of Lucy's house key and often lends it to Natsu and the others so that they can enter Lucy's house.
 * As of now, Lucy has ten of the Twelve Ecliptic Gate Keys.
 * Jellal as Siegrain was in Lucy's "Perfect Boyfriend" list, right on top of Loke.
 * From the Volume 16 Limited Edition: Sorcerer Interview, the best quality of Fairy Tail according to Lucy was that "It [had] a lot of powerful mages". She wants to become a novel writer in the future. She has a good relationship with Natsu and Levy. Lucy thinks that every job she takes is difficult, and wants easier ones.
 * According to Jason from the Sorcerer Magazine, during his participation in the Grand Magic Games of X791, Lucy's stats are:

Early Concept
The earliest concept of Lucy was not much different from the original idea. Lucy used cards instead of keys, but because this idea has already been repeatedly used, Hiro Mashima decided to abandon it.

Early Lucy also had curly locks, two pony-tails instead of one bunch, and wore a more retro-like clothing, with jabot, frills and lace. Her skirt before seems to have a bit of ruffles and her top has an inner scarf. In her early concept, she doesn't seem to be wielding her usual weapon, which is a black whip with a heart-like cracker at its end. Also, in her early concept, she's wearing high heels with laces, in contrast to her black high boots she wears currently.
