Natsu Dragneel

Natsu Dragonil (ナツ ドラグニル Natsu Doraguniru) is the main male character of the series and is a member of the Fairy Tail guild. His name, Natsu (夏) means "summer" in Japanese. His member's stamp is on his right shoulder.

History
It is unknown what became of Natsu's biological parents. Igneel, the fire dragon, discovered Natsu in the forest and raised Natsu as his own child, teaching Natsu how to write, speak and the powerful magic style, Dragon Slayer, a style said to be developed to intercept dragons. However, at a young age on July 7, seven years prior to the main story line, Igneel disappeared, leading Natsu to arrive at Fairy Tail. These far he has only met one other Dragon Slayer user who like him learned it from a dragon.

Personalty
Natsu has a carefree and reckless nature and constantly friendly bickers with other members of the guild. He has a particularly close, and competitive, relationships with fellow members, Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet. He suffers from motion sickness from all modes of transportation, including trains, boats, and carriages. Along with his partner, Happy, a magical cat, he is first introduced in the manga as searching for his missing foster father.

His rose colored hair, scale-skin scarf and fire magic earned him the nickname "Salamander", one which he shares with his foster father, Igneel. His strength and reputation as one of the strongest fire mages has made him one of the more prominent members of Fairy Tail. Erza states that Natsu's true power is in a slumber state and has yet to awaken. With self-belief, Natsu will one day become stronger than Erza. It has been shown that Natsu's power exponentially increases in conjunction with his emotions, evident from his fight with Eligor.

Natsu and Gray have constant fights, ranging from pillow fights to magic ones. Natsu also seems to be a sore loser, never admitting defeat. Whenever Gray and him have trouble deciding who won, they call on Lucy, who is for the most part, able to calm them down.

Sieglein has hinted of certain plans for Natsu, but the nature of these plans remains a mystery. Natsu bares quite a resemblance to Monkey D. Luffy (the main character of One Piece) not only through looks but personality as well.

Abilities
Natsu has the ability to eat all types of fire, with the exception of his own. The more he eat the more strength he gain and the more power he can use again his enemies. However, his reckless nature usually cause more damage then it should. Despite his reckless nature, Natsu shows great wit in battle, quickly identifying his opponents' weaknesses, and forming strategies to block the plans of his enemies. His dedication to his teammates and his guild is strong, preventing the deaths and self-sacrifices of several members, including Macau and Gray.
